汉班托塔海港

汉班托塔国际港(也称为 Magampura Mahinda Rajapaksa 港或 Magam Ruhunupura Mahinda Rajapaksa Port)是斯里兰卡汉班托塔的一个深水港。它于2010年 11月 18日开业,由汉班托塔国际港务集团(HIPG)运营,该集团是斯里兰卡港务局和部分中国国有企业招商局港口控股公司的合资企业。

汉班托塔港是斯里兰卡第二大港口,仅次于科伦坡港。2020年,该港口处理了180万吨液化石油气和干散货物。

该港口于 2008 年 1 月开始建设。汉班托塔港为沿着东西向航线行驶的船只提供服务,该航线经过汉班托塔以南六至十海里(19 km)。后续阶段将把港口的年吞吐量提高到2000万标准箱。但是,汉班托塔港在2016年的收入为1181万美元,产生了1,000万美元的直接和管理费用,其营业利润仅为181万美元。
