Gothenburg: rail traffic at all-time high
The upward trend in rail traffic at the Swedish Port of Gothenburg looks set to continue, with a new record for rail-borne freight passing through the port last year. Some 458,000 teu were handled in 2021.
This throughput is 9% higher than in 2020 and the highest annual result in the port’s 400-year history. The existing system has also been expanded, with more departures and an even higher loading rate.
Topping the list of destinations was Falköping, where traffic rose by 27%. Container freight volumes have also increased. More than 60% of containers transiting the port are now transported by rail – a figure that most of the other major international ports can only dream of, the port authority said. (ben)
