Norvik Port now connected to Swedish railway
Over the Easter weekend the EUR 73 million industrial branch line that Ports of Stockholm has built to Stockholm Norvik Port was connected to the railway network and electrified. This creates a direct railway link to and from the port on the green cargo intermodal network for national and international transport.
The industrial branch line is 4,400 m long, with an additional 360 m of track at the port esplanade to enable the railway wagons to be loaded and unloaded.
A railway yard has also been built. This has two 750 m long tracks where trains can be coupled together, as well as a 100 m siding. Ports of Stockholm owns and is responsible for the operation of the branch line. (ben)
