In a thrilling update from the world of politics, National People’s Power (NPP) bigwig Anura Kumara Dissanayake has unveiled plans to turn the sleepy Trincomalee oil tank farm into the hottest new hotspot for oil under future NPP government. The Trincomalee tank farm, which currently just sits around collecting dust, will soon be rubbing elbows with high-profile foreign investors and the good old Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC). It’s like the Avengers of the oil world are assembling!
At a lively rally in Kanthale, Dissanayake announced the grand vision of transforming Trincomalee into an oil mecca. We’re talking about building a swanky new refinery right there, turning it into the ultimate oil-fueled playground. With 99 oil storage tanks on site, each capable of holding 10,000 metric tons, and the entire tank farm boasting a million metric tons of storage, it’s safe to say there’s no shortage of space. Trincomalee’s harbor is poised to become the hottest new venue for oil exports—think of it as the Coachella of the fuel industry.
“We’ve got more storage capacity than what we need,” Dissanayake quipped. “Why let all this space go to waste when we can use it to make Trincomalee the next big thing in oil exports?”
However, he did admit that CPC alone can’t kick this party off. So, the NPP government is stepping in to bring this grand oil-filled dream to life with a little help from some foreign friends. Buckle up, folks—it looks like Trincomalee is about to get its groove on in the oil game!
