Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) received a Letter of Intent (LOI) for the development and operations of West Container Terminal (WCT) in Colombo, Sri Lanka. APSEZ received the LOI from the Ministry of Ports and Shipping of Sri Lanka and the Sri Lanka Ports Authority, acting on behalf of the Government of Sri Lanka. APSEZ will partner with John Keells Holdings PLC, Sri Lanka's largest diversified conglomerate, and with the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) as a part of the consortium awarded this mandate.
