To and from the Container Terminal Frihamn[ds_preview]en, located in Stockholm, Sweden, last year nearly 54,000 boxes have been transported. It was a new record for the terminal.

According to Ports of Stockholm the container terminal at Frihamnen is located at the heart of Sweden’s largest consumer market, containing one third of Sweden’s population. MSC, the world’s second largest container shipping company, operates services to and from the terminal. Other shipping companies that operate into and out of the terminal are Team Lines, TransAtlantic Container and Unifeeder.

An additional container port for Stockholm

Ports of Stockholm is building a new port to the south of Stockholm, the Stockholm Norvik Port, which is anticipated to open in 2020 and will have a draught of 16.5 m (the maximum for the Baltic Sea). The Stockholm Norvik Port will make it possible to transport goods by sea as close to the country’s largest consumer area as possible. This results in major environmental benefits and simultaneously reduces the pressure on Sweden’s already congested road and railway networks.
