The Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) is set to enhance its operational capacity and environmental credentials with the procurement of 20 new electrically operated prime movers at a cost of Rs.1 billion.

Transport, Highways, Ports and Civil Aviation Minister Bimal Rathnayaka this week sought the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers to procure 20 new electrically operated prime movers, in a bid to modernise the port's vehicle fleet and align with the global sustainability trends.

According to the Government Information Department, this move will see the new electric vehicles integrated into the interterminal transport activities within the bustling Port of Colombo. This strategic investment is funded through the SLPA’s capital budget for 2025/2026 and will be executed under an international competitive procurement procedure.
