Sri Lanka is situated in a strategic location in the Indian Ocean and the demand for ports is considerably significant. Many maritime routes pass through Sri Lanka thus to capture the demand the above-mentioned ports were developed around the country. Maritime transportation is the most prominent mode in international freight transportation, therefore a considerable revenue is generated through it. Also Sri Lanka consists of many natural ports around the country. However only Trincomalee natural harbour is used as an international port.
