MARITIME DOCTRINE OF SRI LANKA
Satellite Image of Shipping Lanes
The SLOC running from the West to East and vice versa pass through the
Southern coast of Sri Lanka just 5nm (9.5km) from Dondra point and this
geographical position has made ample opportunities and potentialities
to make Sri Lanka an Asian maritime hub in the world, competing with
other prominent hubs such as Dubai and Singapore. If this unmatchable
strategic location is harnessed, Sri Lanka could potentially be the focal
point of shifting the strategic calculus from the West to the East.
