2021 figures are tallied and show that the container volumes exceed the record year 2019's volumes. The total volume of goods by sea increased by over 300 thousand tons and the number of TEUs * increased by 1000 units. Specialized project cargo also shows record figures compared with 2019, and the ferry traffic has made a strong recovery compared to last year's figures.
An important step in moving the container terminal in the Port of Helsingborg is investing in a new TOS, or Terminal Operation System. The procurement has now been announced, and hopefully, the process can be completed in Q4 2021.
The future Port of Helsingborg will be built, starting now. The new container terminal's chosen geographical location means that the process can parallel with the operational activities kept intact. Construction can, at the earliest, begin in 2026, and the new port is expected to be commissioned in 2028.
