New container port in Sweden

GreenPort Congress	World Ports Conference	Coastlink Conference

GreenPort Congress is a meeting place for the port community to discuss and learn the latest in sustainable environmental practice. It offers ways to reduce their carbon foot print and be more sensitive to environmental considerations, both of which are vital to future success.	The annual World Ports Conference brings together global port leaders and key stakeholders from the shipping sectors to explore the opportunities and challenges facing the maritime industry. This year’s #IAPH2026 will be held in London, UK, offering a programme of plenary, breakout and workshop sessions and a gala dinner celebrating the IAPH Sustainability Awards.	Coastlink is a neutral pan-European network dedicated to the promotion of short sea and feeder shipping, and the intermodal transport networks through the ports that support the sector. It is a place for industry professionals to meet and discuss future innovation, economic and environmental considerations – and develop partnerships that will help build a sustainable future.

A new container port in Sweden will be built with the capacity to handle around 100,000 standard containers annually.

Peab has been commissioned by SCA Logistics AB to build the container port adjacent to the new Sundsvall Logistics Park in Tunadal Port on the east coast of Sweden. The turnkey contract is worth SEK249m. Construction is planned to begin this autumn and is expected to be completed in autumn 2023.

“We look forward to further developing yet another part of Sundsvall Logistics Park by building the new container port together with SCA. We have a lot of great experience working together on big, complex projects like the nearby extensions of Östrand Paper Mill and the Tunadal Saw Mill. It’s a given for us as the Nordic Community Builder to be part of developing the infrastructure and an efficient and sustainable transportation hub for Sundsvall and Norrland,” says Jörgen Eriksson, Region Manager Peab.

Dredging to allow bigger ships

The port is being built to meet the growing demand for paper pulp and sawn wood products. A new dock will also be built which entails massive groundwork and tonguing. To ensure that ships deeper than those currently entering the existing port can use the shipping lane the harbour basin will be dredged. The project also includes extensive electrical, water and water waste work.

Sundsvall Logistics Park in Tunadal Port will be a transportation hub where roads, the railroad and shipping come together to provide business with access to efficient and sustainable transportation to and from Sundsvall.
