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.

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.
