The 2018 cruise season represented a major boost for Gotland. The number of arrivals increased by 80 per cent compared with the previous year. A major effort is now being made for the 2019 season in order to meet the need for guides for the tourism industry on the island.
From April, containers being transported in and out of the terminal in Copenhagen will be registered photographically and digitally rather than manually. The experience will be used in the forthcoming terminal in Outer Northern Harbour.
The employer’s organization Sveriges Hamnar and the Dock Workers' Union have come to an agreement earlier today. Therefore, the port conflict has been solved effective immediately. This means there will be no strikes nor lockouts in any Swedish port and operations will run as normal.

In February, Copenhagen Malmö Port, CMP, handled a timber load in Swede Harbour; it was the first unloading of timber in the bulk harbour in over 12 years.
CMP regrets that the port conflict has escalated between the employer’s organization Sveriges Hamnar and the Dock Workers' Union in connection with the Dock Worker’s Union having issued notice of a total work stoppage in all ports in Sweden from March 6 at 00.00 and until further notice.

As a port, it is of the utmost importance that we have knowledge of the condition of our quays as they are essential for running our operations.
In 2018, Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) took the initiative to draw up a report on the environmental impact of cruise ships on the immediate surroundings of Langelinie in Copenhagen.
Freight handling in Northern Harbour has become more salty, at least temporarily. This is because a load of salt was redirected to North Harbour in late January as the quays in the bulk harbour in Malmö were full.
CMP is very likely to be affected by the lockouts announced by the Transport Workers’ Union today, since CMP in Malmö is one of the ports that has received strike alerts from the Dock Workers' Union. CMP plans to continue its operations to a large extent.
Expected lockout dates are: January 23 and 27.

CMP is increasingly investing in fossil-free solutions, most recently in electric or biogas powered cars – for both the liquid and dry bulk operations. It is the operations managers’ vans that are now becoming more environmentally friendly. But that’s just the beginning.
Christmas and New Year is attracting cruise passengers to Copenhagen this year too, with CMP setting a new record of nine arrivals. As always, it is the Christmas markets in and around Copenhagen that the visitors want to experience.
Ships call at Malmö every week with containers of refuse-derived fuel, known as RDF. The containers are unloaded at CMP for onward transport to Sysav’s waste-to-energy plant, where the waste is converted into electricity and heat. The operation got underway earlier this year and is based on import of refuse-derived fuel from England.
