科伦坡港口城

科伦坡港口城

科伦坡港口城由中国交通建设集团和斯里兰卡政府联合开发，是斯里兰卡目前最大的外国投资项目，位于首都科伦坡核心商贸区，占地面积269公顷，通过在科伦坡港口附近填海造地的方式，规划金融区、中央公园区、宜居生活岛、游艇码头区、国际品牌带动区等五大主题区域；建造布局设计精湛的甲级写字楼、医疗中心、教育机构、休闲娱乐综合体、游艇码头、购物胜地、豪华酒店等世界级的城市设施和配套项目，总建筑面积预计将达到565万平方米。科伦坡港口城一期填海造地投资约14亿美元，预计可带动二期开发投资达130亿美元。该项目由中国交通建设集团有限公司与斯里兰卡国家港务局共同开发。工程整体工期约25年，于2014年9月17日开工，后因斯里兰卡大选以及政府更迭等因素影响，建设进展有所延宕。经中方多方面交涉，在2016年8月签署新的三方协议后，该工程项目得以继续推进。项目复工后，中方为尽快完成填海造地工程，动用四艘超大型高科技耙吸挖泥船，不分昼夜工作。2018年1月，科伦坡港口城269公顷吹填土地已全部形成，填海工程完工标志着整体项目工程取得重大进展。

Colombo Port City

Colombo Port City is a project implemented by the China Communications Construction Company Limited and the Sri Lanka Ports Authority. It is currently Sri Lanka's largest foreign investment project located in Colombo's central business district. It will be built on 269 hectares of land reclaimed from the sea adjacent to the existing Port of Colombo. The whole city will have five functional zones: a financial district, a central park, an island for residence, a marina and a zone of international brands. There will be a yacht marina, a shopping mall, a medical center, schools, office buildings, luxury hotels and amusement facilities.

The Port City will have a combined floor area of 5.65 million square meters, with an initial investment of US$1.4 billion. It is expected to attract US$13 billion of further development investment.

The entire construction will continue for 25 years. After ground-breaking on September 17, 2014, the project was delayed as a result of Sri Lanka's general election and subsequent transfer of power to a new administration. After repeated efforts by China, a new tripartite agreement to proceed with the construction of the project was signed in August 2016. When construction was resumed, the Chinese side employed four extra-large trailing suction hopper dredgers that worked day and night. By January 2018, 269 hectares of land had been reclaimed from the sea, signifying major overall progress.
