The industrial branch railway line that Ports of Stockholm built to Stockholm Norvik Port has now been connected to the railway network and electrified. This creates a direct railway link to and from the port, due to open in May, on the Green Cargo intermodal network for national and international transport.<\/p>\n

\u201cLinking Stockholm Norvik Port to the railway network provides an important prerequisite for sustainable transport, as well as enabling us to offer good service to our customers,\u201d said Johan Wall\u00e9n, director of sales and marketing at Ports of Stockholm.<\/p>\n

The industrial branch line, which cost around \u20ac73m, is 4400m long, with an additional 360m of track at the port esplanade to enable the railway wagons to be loaded and unloaded. A railway yard has also been built. This has two 750m long tracks where trains can be coupled together, as well as a 100m siding. Ports of Stockholm owns and is responsible for the operation of the branch line.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month an energy efficient smart buoy<\/a> was installed just outside Stockholm Norvik Port.<\/p>\n

Stockholm Norvik Port comprises two main operational areas. One is the container terminal that will replace the container terminal at Frihamnen Port in Stockholm. This will be run by Hutchison Ports. The other is a ro-ro terminal for rolling goods. This will be run by Ports of Stockholm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
