Current StatusThe complex originally had about 100–101 large cylindrical steel tanks, each roughly 12,000 tonnes (10,000 metric tons) capacity, spread over about 600–677 acres of scrub‑jungle near China Bay/Koneswaram‑side hills.  roughly 15 tanks are actively used by Lanka IOC (Indian Oil subsidiary) and a few more by the state‑owned Ceylon Petroleum Corporation.Hope for future  Modify‑ready tanks: ≈99 WWII tanks, total volume ≈ 1.1–1.2 million tonnes (≈8–9 million barrels).Sri Lanka fuel need: ≈ 100,000 barrels per day, so the fully utilized Trinco farm could hold roughly 2–3 months’ worth of national consumption if filled and used as a strategic stockpile.Renovation cost is roughly US$ 1–1.5 million per tank, leading to a ballpark total of US$ 80–100 million to refurbish most of the usable WWII‑era tanks.දැන් ටිකක් හිතලා බලන්න dear ...$100 mil වලින් මේ project එක කරානම් අපිට මාස තුනකට fuel stock කරගන්න පුළුවන් emergency වෙලාවකට.Lotus Tower (Colombo): ~US$ 100–115 million total project‑related cost.Mattala Rajapaksa Airport: ~US$ 220–245 million construction cost.ඔය උඩ ගණන් ටික නිකන් දැම්මේ <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="☺️" title="Smiling face    :relaxed:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/263a.png" data-shortname=":relaxed:" /></blockquote>
