Ports of Stockholm, in collaboration with other ports and stakeholders, has been given the green light to apply for EU funding for three sustainability initiatives, with a focus on the development of the electricity infrastructure.

Port of Kapellskär has welcomed the new Finnlines vessel with brand new technology. The port now offers automooring using vacuum pads, as well as next generation onshore power connections. This makes mooring more efficient and improves the sustainability.

Ports of Stockholm is building six new rooftop solar cell systems that will increase the company's own solar electricity production by 55 percent. This is fully aligned with the company’s and the City of Stockholm’s goals and strategies.

Ports of Stockholm, in collaboration with several partners, has been awarded research funding from the Swedish Transport Agency for research into autonomous shipping in an urban city environment.

Ports of Stockholm can jointly apply, together with eight other Baltic Sea ports, for EU grant funding for pilot studies to develop the onshore power infrastructure, enabling more sustainable shipping with low air pollutant emissions.

Ports of Stockholm is investing in the environment by building onshore power connection facilities for cruise ships at two city centre quays.

The three Baltic Sea ports, Helsinki, Stockholm and Tallinn, have co-operated and agreed on common shore-side electricity for ferries.

Sweden’s most modern port, Stockholm Norvik, has now been equipped with a solar cell system larger than that of any other Swedish port.

The Stockholm Norvik Port launched its new rooftop solar cell system, designed to help its renewable energy initiatives, now setting it into operation, with the aim to produce up to 570 MWh of solar electricity per year when fully completed by 2022.

Ports of Stockholm has been awarded funding from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the EU for investing in onshore power supply.
