Not worth linking all ports. Link to KKS harbour is more than sufficient. KKS can transport all over SL via railways.

Ports airports ferry what next one might ask?Many many years ago a visiting Indian lady called Sri Lanka an orchard adding that anything grows here. what do you think they will say now when they disembark here at all the ports.As for the investors they will be rubbing their hands in glee when they see the opportunity that is present. Anything from post offices to a port citiy is up for sale.You only have to ask. No wonder the former Commercial Attache returned And where are the educated Lankans? At the passports office waiting to leave while a few hopefuls have put up their hands at the IPL auction indicating they are also up for sale. And Sashi Tharoor must be busy gathering material for his next book titled Who is a good Buddhist with an additional chapter on SL cricket What a life as Wijesoma( cartoonist)_ would have said.We hope it will all end well

To clarify Sashi Tharoor is not gathering material for a new book titled Who is a good Buddhist.That was said tongue in cheek but he should. He is such a brilliant scholar who can write, peak ,on any subject

This is good idea as long run by private sector. Linking Trinco, Hambanthota and Colombo ports via modern ferry services will also increase revenue from ports, reduce domestic road traffic congestions also serve India's east and west coasts. Greece is good example.
