    The Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe, located in the city of Rotterdam, South Holland, the Netherlands. From 1962 until 1986 it was the world's busiest port, now overtaken by Asian ports like Singapore and Shanghai. In 2009, Rotterdam was world's tenth-largest container port in terms of twenty-foot equivalent units

    The Port of Hambantota will service ships travelling along the east west shipping route which passes six to ten nautical miles (19 km) south of Hambantota. The first phase of the port project will provide bunkering, ship repair, ship building, and crew changes facilities. Later phases will raise capacity of the port up to 20 million TEUs per year.

    When completed, the port will be
    the biggest port constructed on land to date in the 21st century
