Gate automation to be installed

Port of Södertälje is expanding and our ambition is for a doubling of present volumes over a four to five-year period. A re-think is needed in order to achieve this goal, as well as maintaining the 10-minute turnaround time. As a result, Port of Södertälje will become the first container port to install a fully-automated gate.

Anyone who knows me knows I like to stand out and try new approaches. That is why we are the first Swedish port on Facebook. On our Facebook page you can read about what's going on in the harbor and you have the opportunity to comment, discuss and ask questions.

Environmental Court force Norvik is challenged. It is a process that will take many years, and in the meantime continues to grow Port of Södertälje. We are taking market share as more and more discover our advantages and we have the capacity to grow with very little investment.

There are now increasing signs that economic activity in the industry has reversed. It's been a tough economic crisis that now bottomed. Even winter was hard but now also on standby and spring is here. Then it is wonderful to work with the Maritime and watch the sun sparkle in the water. Right now I am extra happy when I look out over the harbor and see the vast amount of cars that come to Södertälje.
