Construction of a biogas liquefaction plant at the Port of Gothenburg has reached an important milestone. This comes as the facility’s storage tank for LBG (liquefied biogas) has now been installed. The plant is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2027. It is expected to play a key role in making Swedish biogas more accessible to more sectors, not least shipping.
Cargo volumes at the Port of Gothenburg developed steadily during January–September 2026. Container volumes remained in line with the previous year, while several segments showed clear growth. New cars increased by 14 percent and energy products by 10 percent. Ro/ro traffic and rail volumes also continued to rise.
By rebuilding and streamlining the layout of the railway tracks at Arken Intermodal Terminal, new space for cargo handling has been created. The result is a significant increase in yard capacity.
Expanded terminal areas, new rail connections and modernised quays are among the investments that have strengthened Gothenburg RoRo Terminal in recent years. Traffic is also developing positively: in the first half of 2026, cargo volumes handled over the quay increased by five per cent.
Following more than two years of extensive work, the reinforcement of the south quay at the container terminal at the Port of Gothenburg has been completed on schedule and within budget.

Construction has begun on a liquefied biogas facility at the Port of Gothenburg. Owned and developed by Nordion Energi, the plant is expected to play a central role in making Swedish biogas available to more sectors, not least shipping.
Container handling in the Port of Gothenburg continues to show positive development in terms of loaded cargo volumes. At the same time, the share of empty containers is decreasing, contributing to more efficient logistics flows, but also to a slightly lower total number of containers handled. This is shown in the port’s throughput report for the first quarter of the year.
The Port of Gothenburg has signed a contract with Boskalis Sweden AB for blasting and dredging works as part of Skandia Gateway, a major infrastructure project aimed at increasing capacity for larger vessels. The contract is valued at approximately SEK 202 million (around EUR 18 million).
