Since the lifting of the EU fish ban, Sri Lanka can hardly cope with the growing demand to satisfy EU’s hunger for fish. Sri Lanka’s fisheries sector is a “promising growth sector” that needs a lot of infrastructure development and the government is inviting overseas parties to come and take up investments on the PPP investment model. However, no other harbours exist between Hambantota and Trincomalee except the Valachchena harbor, and this harbor is also experiencing difficulties in its slipways where boats enter and leave the facility.Īmidst such difficulties the region’s “sea fish production” has drastically come down and the fishing community has pleaded with government to do the critical upgrading of the Kirinda Fishery Harbor. The problem of “sand piling” at the Kirinda Fishery Harbor has made the facility redundant as the fishermen have abandoned the harbor due to the entry and exit of harbour is a difficult task. State Minister Of Fisheries And Aquatic Resources Development, Dilip Wedaarachchi in concurrence with the blue economy concept. Upgrading of kirinda fishery harbor complex is planned to be executed in line with the movement of “ realizing the blue economy” launched by Hon. to obtain feasibility report (free of charge) for the designing and upgrading of Kirinda Fishery Harbor. MOU signed between SL government and Hae Chun Co.
