Returning Colombo Port to normalcy amidst COVID-19 disruptions has been a costly exercise to both the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) as well as terminal operators, officials said yesterday.
Speaking to media, SLPA Chairman Major General (Retd.) Daya Ratnayake yesterday said all operations and other services at the Port of Colombo had now returned to normal levels following the setback experienced during the second wave of COVID outbreak.
