The Gothenburg region has once again been named the Nordic region’s best logistics location by Swedish industry publication Dagens Logistik, with the Port of Gothenburg highlighted as the decisive factor behind the region’s continued dominance.
The magazine cited the port’s role as a hub for international imports and exports, alongside the region’s versatile and sustainable logistics infrastructure. Roads, railways, ports, air cargo airports and intermodal terminals were assessed, as well as freight flows, access to consumer markets, labour availability and logistics expertise.
“The port is central to the region’s role as a logistics location, and over the past year its position has been strengthened both in Sweden and internationally,” said Jacob Minnhagen, senior market development manager at the Port of Gothenburg.
“Not least through an expanded network of shipping services and continued rail development linking the port to inland destinations resulting in record volumes in 2025, increased market shares, and a strengthened role for the port as a hub for Nordic trade with the world.”
The port, the largest in Scandinavia, handles around 20% of Swedish trade and more than half of the country’s container traffic. It is also home to the Nordic region’s largest container port and largest car/RoRo port, supported by an extensive rail network and strong road and air links.
“We have long maintained close collaboration with Swedavia Landvetter Airport, Business Region Gothenburg and other stakeholders across the region,” added Minnhagen.
“Together, we are working to further increase our attractiveness for logistics establishments, and we continue to see growing interest both around the port and across the wider region.”
The ranking, now expanded to cover the entire Nordic region, marks the 25th time in 26 years that Gothenburg has secured top position.
