Sweden presents top ten
23 Dec 2007
A report commissioned by the Swedish government has delivered a top ten list of ports that should be prioritised for state investment.
The report by Professor Bengt Owe Birgersson, Uppsala University earmarks Copenhagen’s Malmö Port, Gävle, Gothenburg, Helsingborg, Karlshamn/Karlskrona, Luleå, Norrköping, Stockholm (Kapellskär), Sundvall and Trelleborg as “strategically important” for Sweden.
Among other recommendations, the port
report advises that the state commits itself to deepening the approach channels
in the prioritised ports, and assumes greater responsibility for investment in
the port's railways and approach roads.
The Swedish government is expected to decide next spring upon its infrastructure priorities for 2010–16.
