Sri Lanka · Container transshipment hub
Colombo is South Asia's principal transshipment hub, sitting directly on the east-west trunk route with deep-water container terminals and a substantial bunkering trade. A great many vessels call here without any cargo interest at all, purely to bunker, change crew and store.
Working Colombo
- Position on the main lane makes it the natural provisioning call between the Gulf and the Malacca Strait.
- Bunker-only and crew-change calls are common and leave a short, precisely defined stores window.
- Several separately operated container terminals, each with its own access procedure.
How we supply Colombo
For vessels routing through southern India we plan the Tuticorin and Colombo requisitions as one, so the same stores are not bought twice within a few days of each other.
