Stena Line and the Gothenburg Port Authority are working together to enable the relocation of Stena Line\u2019s terminals and operations from central Gothenburg to Arendal from 2027 as a win-win arrangement for both parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince the port has secured land and agreements with surrounding operations, we now have a suitable physical location and a basic layout. With this, there are conditions enabling a move forward with a replacement location that benefits Stena Line\u2019s operations,\u201d said said Elvir Dzanic, chief executive, Gothenburg Port Authority.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is in parallel with the port\u2019s ambition to consolidate port operations in the outer port areas, while giving the city access to central areas for urban development.\u201d<\/p>\n
Port development<\/strong><\/p>\n A new ferry location will promote Stena Line\u2019s conditions for growth and implement future initiatives to meet its goal of completely fossil-free operations in 2050.<\/p>\n At the same time, it provides opportunities to move heavy traffic out of the city centre benefitting the city of Gothenburg\u2019s development plans.<\/p>\n The ambition is to be able to both strengthen Gothenburg as a sustainable Nordic freight hub as well as the common vision of sustainable shipping, and to also go hand in hand with the city\u2019s plans to develop a denser mixed-use city along the river banks.<\/p>\n The idea is that Stena Line will be able to enter into a 25-year lease agreement in Arendal no later than 1 January 2027.<\/p>\n Stena Line, the City of Gothenburg and the Gothenburg Port Authority have had a close collaboration for many years. The agreement for the sites where the Stena Line terminals are located today have previously been extended to 2035. The agreements have, however, taken into account an earlier relocation if this would be required by urban development and this has now been actualized as a result of the city\u2019s decision to build the Lindholmen-connection tunnel in the G\u00f6ta \u00c4lv river.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A ferry operation could relocate outside of Gothenburg to help the city move towards fossil free operations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1889,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[144,240,239,238,237,236],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-1888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe","tag-ferries","tag-pollution","tag-port-development","tag-port-of-gothenburg","tag-stena-line","tag-terminals"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1888"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1888\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1890,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1888\/revisions\/1890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1888"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=1888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
