Port of Gävle - The Hub of the East Coast

Port of Gävle – the largest logistics hub in Central Sweden, is situated only two hours from Stockholm, with comparatively little traffic or congestion. At Port of Gävle exports from the region’s steel, wood and paper industries on their way around the globe, meet input goods for industry, fuel, consumer goods and project loads that will be distributed throughout the country.

Large vessels can efficiently arrive at the port for quick unloading and loading at the container terminal, bulk terminal, combi terminal, and energy port. From here, the goods will reach their destination by electrified railway or road.

Port of Gävle has large storage areas near the quays  as well as a logistics park that is ready with space for stocking and storing goods.

Just-in-Time Gävle

The Just-In-Time Gävle project is going on from 2020-2022 and aims to develop working methods and regulations for the port so that ships on their way to Gävle's energy quays can choose to travel at a reduced speed. This allows vessels to save on fuel consumption, which spares the environment from large amounts of CO2 being emitted.

New construction of quay 1

Quay 1 is located in the south-west part of the port area and is the Port of Gävle's smaller quay for liquid bulk cargo. It handles vessels with a maximum depth of 8.8 metres and a length of 185 metres. Quay 1 was built in the 1930’s and has since undergone several renovations and improvements to bring it up to standard. As the lifespan of the quay has reached its end, the board of directors has decided to build a new quay for bulk liquid goods, just south of the existing quay.

Port of Gävle is the best port to work in. There are not many ports that are open in the evening like Port of Gävle, and wait-times are short. In our contracts, we always allow two hours for loading and unloading – at Port of Gävle you can usually do it in one. There is also a very strong entrepreneurial spirit.

Roger Blom, VD Ernst Express

You have a port, we don't. Of that, we are jealous.

Ylva Törn, Dalarnas Landshövding

At Port of Gävle, there is no monopoly, but transparency and a functioning market. This results in professional and efficient work.
