An impressive transshipment of BMWs to the Hambantota International Port

The Hambantota International Port (HIP) reports it handled over 900 units of the latest BMWs transshipped from the Port of Koper – Slovenia to the Port of Pyeongtaek in South Korea last week.

 

The usual traffic for transshipment at the Hambantota Port is in the East to West direction however, this operation proves that there is a slow growth of RORO cargo coming in from the West and being moved to the East, according to the Hambantota International Port.

 

Hambantota International Port Group Chief Operating Officer Tissa Wickramasinghe said: “The fact that these high-end vehicles are now coming our way is a clear indication that HIP’s efficiency, reliability, quality of service and capacity for transshipment has now reached ‘best in the world’s standards.”

 

Last year HIP benchmarked over 500,000 units of vehicles. As of mid-April this year, the port has already transshipped over 200,000 units of vehicles.
