National Port Master Plan – Sri Lanka
Introduction
In 2016, MTBS took on a leading role in the consortium responsible for the development of a unified strategy in the form of a National Port Masterplan (NPMP) for the Sri Lanka Port Authority (SLPA). NPMP are challenging projects because they require the coordination of both local and national port activities, strategies, and investments. In the context of Sri Lanka, we were tasked with the development of National Port Directions, outlining long-term economic development strategies for SLPA. In addition, we provided our client with individual development plans for the seaports of Colombo and Trincomalee.
