More container flows in the North
Container flows in Sweden were on the rise in 2021. The Port of Gothenburg handled 828,000 containers and grew further in relation to other ports in Sweden.
”Our almost perfect balance between import and export has been a great advantage while container shortages have been in effect,” said Elvir Dzanic, CEO at the Gothenburg Port Authority.
More and more Swedish shippers are choosing the port of Gothenburg for their container transports, regardless of their location in the country.
According to Dzanic, Railport Scandinavia, the port's growing railway system, plays an important role. A total of 458,000 containers were transported in Gothenberg by rail in 2021, which is the highest number in the history of the port.
While the five largest ports in Europe grew by an average of 5%, the Port of Gothenburg increased by 7% in terms of handled container volume. (sh)
