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).
The Port of Gothenburg has acquired a large area located in the port’s outer areas. The agreement – signed on Tuesday morning with the seller Platzer – creates conditions for the continuation of the port’s long-term plan for further expansion of the port. The total transaction value, which also includes a minor property sale, amounts to SEK 684 million.
