Gothenburg to expand port with new 220,000-square metre terminal
SWEDEN's major Port of Gothenburg is to expand with the construction of a new SEK1 billion (US$121.4 million) terminal covering 220,000 square metres in the outer harbour area.
It is the largest expansion project at the port since the 1970s. The terminal will be built using dredging spoils and is expected to be completed after 2020, reports GAC Hot Port News.
The Land and Environment Court has granted the Port of Gothenburg consent to build a new freight terminal beside the existing terminals with 11 metres alongside.
This is expected to accommodate intra-European freight either as a final destination or to the major transshipment hubs in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium.
It has still not been decided what type of goods the new terminal will handle - containers, ro-ro or a combination.
The terminal will be run by an external operator in precisely the same way as the current freight terminals at the Port of Gothenburg.
