The Port of Gothenburg plans to present the Railport Scandinavia system at Transport Logistics in Munich
The Port of Gothenburg is planning to present the Railport Scandinavia system at Transport Logistics in Munich – a system that accounts for 50 per cent of the port's land transport, said in the company's press release.
"With Railport Scandinavia, we can combine higher volumes at the port with reduced emissions. As a port, it is important for us to grow sustainably and at the same time create added value for our customers," states Claes Sundmark, Vice President Sales, Port of Gothenburg.
The largest port in Scandinavia is very much on track. Thanks to Railport Scandinavia, large volumes of freight can reach the port's customers quickly and efficiently.
When the project started, there were two rail shuttles each day transporting freight to and from the port. Today, there are 25 shuttles with daily services to 22 inland terminals throughout Sweden and Norway. Last year, 411,000 containers (TEU) were transported to and from the port by rail. Each year, some 61,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide are saved, equivalent to emissions from 23,000 cars.
Transport Logistics in Munich, June 4-7
