CWIT Phase 2 Progresses with Tallest Electric Cranes in the Region 📈

• Overall Figures & Investment: The Colombo West International Terminal (CWIT), an infrastructure project valued at approx. US$ 800 Mn, has officially commenced its Phase 2 capacity development. CWIT is a public-private partnership between Adani Ports, John Keells Holdings, and the Sri Lanka Ports Authority. • Key Milestones: The terminal handled 1.02 Mn TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) in its inaugural year, making it the fastest terminal at the Port of Colombo to reach this milestone. Upon full completion, CWIT will feature a 1,400m quay and a 20m depth, expanding its annual handling capacity to approx. 3.2 Mn TEUs. • Infrastructure Upgrades: The newly arrived equipment includes 2 Ship-to-Shore (STS) electric cranes and 7 Cantilever Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes (CRMGs). An additional 4 STS cranes and 5 CRMGs are expected by late September 2026, bringing the total fleet to 14 STS and 30 CRMGs to drive efficiency and sustainable maritime & logistics hub capabilities.
