Green light for a deeper fairway at the Port of Gothenburg

On Thursday, Gothenburg City Council passed a resolution to grant more than €120,000,000 to finance the Skandia Gateway project, aimed at deepening the fairway leading into the Port of Gothenburg. As a result the project is fully funded. The parties now have a firm basis for entering into an implementation agreement.

EU green lights deepening of the fairway in the Port of Gothenburg

With preliminary studies, risk analyses, simulations, environmental permits and other types of preparatory work already completed, the final obstacle has now been overcome to kick-start the Skandia Gateway project. This is via approval from the EU Commission, which confirms that state funding for a Port of Gothenburg fairway deepening does not constitute state aid.

Mer än bara containrar på containerfartyg

Även om containerfartyg är optimerade att frakta just containrar så finns det även goda möjligheter att frakta andra typer av gods på fartygen – långt bortom begränsningarna av en containers dimensioner. Inte minst ombord på de allra största containerfartygen som erbjuder direkttrafik varje vecka mellan Göteborgs hamn och hamnar i Asien och Nordamerika.
