Colombo, July 4 (Daily Mirror) - The government has decided to expedite the transformation of the Colombo Port into a green port by 2025.

Accordingly, the Ports, Shipping and Aviation Ministry has planned to take all necessary measures to achieve this objective by 2025.

The Chinese government, an economic stronghold in the world, has expressed its willingness to provide all relevant technology for this purpose at the Colombo Port.

A delegation led by Wang Xiao Jie - Deputy Director General of China's Shanghai Urban Transport Commission, held discussions with Minister of Ports, Shipping and Aviation Nimal Siripala de Silva, and other Ministerial officials on July 2, at the Ministry.

During the discussions, both parties addressed the obstacles affecting trade and shipping between the two countries. They also expressed their consent to increase the use of the Port of Colombo for the transhipment of TEUs and other cargo.

Ships run on fuel. When Colombo Port become Green, No ship can come to Colombo unless they sail with a source of renewable energy. What a loss?

This has to be the most hilarious comment of the year. A green port means their operations will be sustainable and efficient in all aspects of pollution. It has nothing to do with only bringing RE based ships. ChatGPT and Gemini can work wonders. Try typing in your comment there before commenting in public. Might save help you save face.

For all I know our idiots will paint Colombo Port green and say its a green port. Then they will start taxing all ships in any other colour. This is the IQ level of our idiots. And they will take the money and say you wanted a green port we gave you a green port. So much to do before you make it efficient and environmentally friendly. Hope the minister knows what he is talking about.
