Choosing from three locations, the Swedish port has decided to move its container operations, sea & inland, to the south.

The new container terminal will comprise 750 m of quay wall, making it possible to take care of three 225 m-long vessels at the same time.

Cargo handling operations, both at the quay and in the yard, is to be carried out with the use of electric machinery and vehicles running on renewable diesel (hydrated vegetable oil).

In addition, a new terminal for combined traffic will be erected.

Construction works can kick off in 2026 the earliest, with the commissioning taking place two years later.

"History is written with the decision, and together with the City of Helsingborg and consultants, we have considered different solutions and, in the end, have entirely agreed on what will be best for both the port, our customers, and the city's urban development," Marie Weibull Kornias, Chair of the Port of Helsingborg's Board, commented.
