Steady growth

Larger volumes and more traffic mean

that we are focusing even more on safety

and the work environment. Car and lorry

traffic on the quays is one example, another

is the way we move around the portarea.

To minimise the risk of accidents, we have

put a stop to people walking to and from

ships. This means that better planning

from agents and crews is required when

coming ashore. Changing rules brings up

other new issues, and we have reviewed

and adjusted many rules internally recently.

All of this places demands on our own

staff, but we meet all new requests with

the same culture of service as always.

For the first time, LNG-powered vessels

are operating in the port — the ships are

called M/S Viikki and M/S Haaga, and will

operate between Oxelösund, Luleå and

Brahestad. Operating with LNG means

lower emissions for the surrounding environ-

ment, as well as cost-effective and more

environmentally friendly transportation for

customers. We expect an increase in LNG-

powered vessels over time and when our

new terminal is completed in 2022, they

will be able to bunker their fuel here with

us, either by car, barge or directly from the

terminal.

We offer so much more than a traditional port.

Welcome to our All Inclusive concept with

stevedoring that aims be the best in Europe!

The port area is changing. Two new silos

for cement products have been erected

next to the port’s office, we are developing

new storage space for new warehouses

along Gamla Oxelösundsvägen, and a

new detailed development plan to enable

the LNG terminal is under review. Our

long-term partnerships with customers

are paying off and mean that business is

growing. We have an active sales depart-

ment — we recently passed the mark for

1 million tons of managed goods in 2018

in births 3-8, which is a whole new level

compared to previous years.

Now we see the return on the previous

investments and hard work performed by

the organisation.
