Green development in Stockholm

It will be made a more efficient and safe space with new city districts being made by partially relocating the port area.

“Our investment of SEK2.8bn (€30m) will create a port that is adapted to today’s ferry traffic, effective planning and not least, a secure environment for both our employees and our customers,” says Jan Antonsson, project manager for Ports of Stockholm.

Värtahamnen is one of Stockholm’s largest port areas and handles four million passengers and 1.7m tonnes of goods each year.

Stockholm has made the environment a priority in its list of issues and is aiming to work actively with clients and operators to create secure and sustainable transport.

Hogia is supplying the terminal system to the ports, the system handles goods and transports all the way from arrival into the port to loading on-board the ship for onward transport.

“Information flows through the terminal system from many parties and systems with as little manual handling as possible, which makes administration easier and results in an efficient and safe handling of goods transports,” said Lars Tingström at Hogia.

The terminal system from Hogia is one component in an overall ITS-system (Intelligent Transport Systems) for the new port which will be completed in 2016. The port will have then received a new passenger terminal and five new quay berths.
