LK TRR Port (Trincomalee Harbor) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

The Sri Lanka Ports Authority, Lanka IOC, Tokyo Cement and Prima all operate dedicated facilities at Trincomalee, a natural deep-water harbour on Sri Lanka's north-eastern coast with depths exceeding 20 m. Rather than a container terminal, it is a multipurpose port: Tokyo Cement's cement berth, Lanka IOC's oil facility with the SLPA oil pier, Prima's grain and flour terminal and the Ashroff jetty for general cargo and dry bulk, plus a separate jetty for coal, gypsum and cement. The historic Trincomalee Oil Tank Farm (China Bay) comprises 99 serviceable tanks of nearly one million tonnes capacity and is being modernised through the Trinco Petroleum Terminal joint venture (Ceylon Petroleum Corporation 51 percent, Lanka IOC 49 percent); a 2025 tripartite agreement between Sri Lanka, India and the UAE aims to turn it into a regional energy hub. Hinterland links run by road and rail into eastern and northern Sri Lanka. For containerised shipments, Colombo remains the country's principal deep-sea gateway, while Trincomalee's strengths lie in liquids, cement and dry-bulk handling.
