The construction of the 450-metre container quay has been completed at Stockholm Norvik Port. This is considered a major milestone in the development of the Port as now its contours can be seen, and the new functionality is emerging.
The building of the container quay is now completed and out on the quay crane tracks are being laid, bollards are being equipped and guardrails, barriers and fenders are being installed.

Stockholm Norvik Port is Sweden’s newest freight port, with both a RoRo port and a container terminal. The container terminal features a natural depth of 16.5 meters and the length of quay and terminal area must be able to handle the largest vessels operating in the Baltic Sea.
The location of the port, as well as its proximity to one of Europe’s most rapidly growing capital regions, make Stockholm Norvik Port a new, efficient and sustainable transport hub.
Commenting on how the Port is progressing, Johan Wallén, Marketing and Sales Director at Ports of Stockholm, said that:
There is a lot of work going on simultaneously in the construction of Stockholm Norvik Port. The rail track is being laid and surface water management facilities are being constructed, but for those of us working with shipping the completion of the container quay is an incredibly important milestone
