Construction of a biogas liquefaction plant at the Port of Gothenburg has reached an important milestone. This comes as the facility’s storage tank for LBG (liquefied biogas) has now been installed. The plant is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2027. It is expected to play a key role in making Swedish biogas more accessible to more sectors, not least shipping.
Cargo volumes at the Port of Gothenburg developed steadily during January–September 2026. Container volumes remained in line with the previous year, while several segments showed clear growth. New cars increased by 14 percent and energy products by 10 percent. Ro/ro traffic and rail volumes also continued to rise.
By rebuilding and streamlining the layout of the railway tracks at Arken Intermodal Terminal, new space for cargo handling has been created. The result is a significant increase in yard capacity.
Expanded terminal areas, new rail connections and modernised quays are among the investments that have strengthened Gothenburg RoRo Terminal in recent years. Traffic is also developing positively: in the first half of 2026, cargo volumes handled over the quay increased by five per cent.
Following more than two years of extensive work, the reinforcement of the south quay at the container terminal at the Port of Gothenburg has been completed on schedule and within budget. The Skandia Gateway project will now enter its next major phase, with blasting and dredging works closest to the quay commencing on 13 October.
The Port of Gothenburg has awarded NCC the contract for the design and implementation of Stena Line’s new terminal in the Port of Gothenburg. The agreement was signed on Tuesday and means that the next step can be taken in the work to realise the long-planned relocation and consolidation of Stena Line’s terminal operations in the port.
Today, the first train on a new rail service for Swedish timber producer Fiskarheden departs from Malungsfors for the Port of Gothenburg, carrying sawn timber. From there, the timber is shipped to markets in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.
