In 2024, the 300 metre long Kustkajen quay will be completely rebuilt to get a complete 2.0 upgrade making it a crucial piece of the fundamental infrastructure necessary for the transition to renewable fuels.<\/p>\n
\u201dKustkajen 2.0 is an immensely important investment for the Port of Gothenburg, where we also ensure to further strengthen the opportunities for society\u2019s transition to renewable energy sources, which will only accelerate during the quay\u2019s lifespan,\u201d said Erik Hallgren, vice president infrastructure at the Gothenburg Port Authority.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe project is entirely in line with the port\u2019s long-term ambition to become Scandinavia\u2019s largest hub for renewable energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crucial works<\/strong><\/p>\n The Gothenburg Port\u2019s Energy Port is crucial for Sweden\u2019s energy supply today. About 2200 ship calls occur at its quays every year.<\/p>\n The project will involve geotechnical improvements, new foundations, demolition and reconstruction of the 300 metre quay and in some parts, a new process layout and equipment.<\/p>\n During the construction of the new quay, ships will still be able to call and ongoing operations will continue, albeit to a more limited extent.<\/p>\n The Swedish construction company Peab has been contracted for the first phase of the job.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Peab, we take pride in being part of the development and vision of the Port of Gothenburg,\u201d said Mattias Emanuelsson, deputy regional manager at Peab.<\/p>\n We have been entrusted with carrying out the feasibility study and subsequent project planning for this complex project, which allows us to contribute efficient solutions for the challenging foundations of the project.\u201d<\/p>\n The feasibility study and preliminary planning will begin in Q4 2023. Construction works are scheduled to commence in Q1 2026 and continue until Q1 2031.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new port construction project will open up new possibilities in the Port of Gothenburg helping it to realise its aim of becoming a centre for renewable energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,8],"tags":[657,1321,238,181,174,1320],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-port-construction","tag-port-energy","tag-port-of-gothenburg","tag-renewable-energy","tag-renewables","tag-wind-energy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3871","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=3871"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3873,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3871\/revisions\/3873"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3871"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
