With the situation in the Suez Canal resolved, still, further delays in European ports await. Measures are now being prepared in the Port of Gothenburg to ensure fast transport of Scandinavian goods.
The measures also aim to contribute to alleviating the coming congestion in major European ports.
Instead of queuing in several European ports in a row, we now offer the opportunity to come directly to the Port of Gothenburg. Here, the shipping companies can unload their Scandinavian goods, which can then quickly reach their customers
said Elvir Dzanic, Gothenburg Port Authority Chief Excecutive.
In addition, the port offers the opportunity to unload additional goods with other European destinations. This cargo can then be transhipped to smaller feeder vessels for further transport to other European ports. In this way, the larger vessels can also get back into their regular loops more quickly.
Moreover, in addition to the opportunity to bring their ships directly to Gothenburg, shipping companies are also offered a discount on these extra calls.
We want to contribute to a solution to this situation as quickly as possible in every way we can. Price is always a factor, and many have ended up with increased costs due to the the Suez situation. The sooner we get back to a normal situation, the better it is for everyone in the logistics chain. If we can help speed that process up, I’d be very pleased
concluded Elvir Dzanic.
