Capable of accommodating large oceangoing vessels, the new port will facilitate efficient and sustainable cargo movement of goods to the Stockholm region.
Stockholm Norvik Port location
Stockholm Norvik Port will be built over 44ha area in Norvikudden, approximately 60km south of Stockholm. It is expected to become one of the deepest seaports in the Baltics Sea once operational.
It will offer new connections to major roads and railways.
Stockholm Norvik Port details
Featuring modern technology and equipment, Stockholm Norvik Port will address the needs of modern ships, featuring deeper draughts, longer quays, and large terminal areas.
It will have seven quay berths to support container and RoRo traffic. A 1.4km-long quay wall with stern door ramps will be built at the port. The water depths of the quays will range between 10.5m and 16.5m.
Details of the container and RoRo terminals at the Stockholm Norvik Port
Stockholm Norvik Port’s container terminal will be built over 32ha. Equipped with eight straddle carriers and 22 wide crane units, the container terminal will have the capacity to handle more than 500,000 containers a year.
The RoRo terminal will cover 12ha with a 525m-long quay wall and 42 trailer parking lots. The annual handling capacity of the terminal is 200,000 rolling goods vehicles.
