Container handling evolution in Sweden

Euroglobe has leased land area of 6500m2 from Ports of Stockholm and will establish terminal operations, including bonded warehouse facilities, at Stockholm Norvik Port. The additional infrastructure and capacity is expected to create new opportunities for handling goods between different modes of transport and export goods.

A terminal building will also be constructed that will connect to the container terminal operated by Hutchison Ports Sweden. This is anticipated to provide new possibilities to handle export goods, as the volumes can be stored and loaded into containers for onward transport.

“The establishment of Euroglobe here will provide completely new possibilities to transfer goods between the different types of transport operating services to and from Stockholm Norvik Port, and we are very pleased to be able to develop our collaboration with Euroglobe,” said Johan Wallén, director of sales and marketing at Ports of Stockholm.

Euroglobe has offered similar services at Frihamnen Port in Stockholm since 2005. Previously it had not been possible to handle large volumes at Frihamnen Port in Stockholm, as the area has been too congested for the growing container operations.

“It feels good to be in at the start of Stockholm Norvik Port and to be able to offer the same good service that we have been able to provide at Frihamnen Port. We are proud to be involved and to be able to develop logistics in the greater Stockholm region, together with Ports of Stockholm and Hutchison Ports,” says Javier Sangüesa, sales manager at Euroglobe.
