The first phase of the Hambantota harbour construction will be completed by August this year and it will be followed by the process of filling the harbour with sea water, Ports and Aviation Minister Chamal Rajapaksa said.
The phase of the Hambantota harbour construction will cost US $360 million. The Ports and Aviation Ministry has scheduled to bring the first ship into the harbour by November.
The Ministry has planned to export local products including sugar, rubber and milk products by the first ship leaving the Hambantota Port, Minister Rajapaksa added. At first the harbour will be filled with small quantities of water to allow the public to wallow and enjoy in the water as this is an opportunity once in a lifetime. After two months the harbour will be filled with water up to the required water level and the first ship will be navigated in, the Minister said.
