Port of Kapellskär won in 2020


2020 was a good year for the Swedish Port of Kapellskär, Ports of Stockholm’s largest freight port. Despite the worldwide pandemic, freight volumes in 2020 increased 9% compared to the previous year.

 

Freight volumes at Port of Kapellskär are continuing to rise. In 2020, a total 2.9 million t of freight was transported via Kapellskär, an increase of 250,000 t.

 

Finnlink, Ports of Stockholm’s largest freight customer, represented the largest proportional rise in freight volumes, but freight volumes in 2020 also increased for DFDS and Tallink Silja.

 

Both shipping companies introduced additional vessels on the Kapellskär – Paldiski (Estonia) route to meet the demand for transport when services from Stockholm stopped as a result of the pandemic.

Port of Kapellskär currently handles 50% of Ports of Stockholm’s ferry freight to and from Finland and Estonia. Each year 3.5 million metres of freight pass through Kapellskär. (cd)
