Port of Södertälje had an increase of 50% regarding container handling
last year. Including Team Lines now five container lines calls Port of
Södertälje at weekly basis.
The container traffic to Port of Södertälje continues to grow. In May
Team Lines start up with regular calls to Port of Södertälje. Team Lines is
the fifth container line now calling Port of Södertälje at weekly basis.
Port of Södertälje now has totally 7-8 calls per week. by container vessels.
The new agreement gives Port of Södertälje a considerable increase of
new container volumes.
- The decision that Team Lines starts with weekly traffic to Södertälje is
from strategically viewpoint an important step. It strength our belief that
our geographical position with E4/E20 just five minutes away from the port
and our short terminal time, 12 minutes only, are factors having great
importance for the choice of port, says Erik Froste, Managing Director at
Port of Södertälje.
Team Lines is one of the leading feeder operators and are calling about
30 ports all around Europe with a fleet consisting of 35 vessels. The new
service Team Line is offering will initially be run by M/V Ragna with 508
TEU capacity.
- For Södertälje this new agreement is important, as it clearly shows that
the goal for Port of Södertälje to be the natural container port in the
Stockholm region, is right,
Erik Froste says.
Port of Södertälje makes two big investments during 2008 in order to
meet the increasing container volumes. A new crane with capacity for
panamax vessels will be delivered mid July and the new 310 meter
extended berth will be opened.
