More RoRo
in the future
Position #3 October 2017
and 22 September. It has meant big gains
for the environment as transport is further
moved away from the heavily loaded
roads to sea traffic. Now the
results of the test activities will be evaluated
and optimised, for a possible continuation
in spring 2018.
“We are very pleased with how the busi-
ness worked. Operations went very well,
and we have a good partnership with the
Port of Oxelösund. Our challenge for the
future is to reach even more customers
and change their way of thinking. Many
are stuck in their ways and have not yet
discovered the benefits of relocating
more land traffic to maritime traffic,”
concludes Rickard.
Daniel Johansson is Production Manager for Terminal at
the Port of Oxelösund. He is very pleased with the project
conducted with Finnlines and would like to see an increase
in RoRo traffic in the future.
What were the project’s biggest challenges?
Getting the lorry logistics in place, and finding a good solution
for working hours. The project was largely carried out during
the holiday months, but thanks to the flexibility of our
organisation and our employees’ commitment we were able
to find an effective way of working.
Are you satisfied with the result?
I think we provided a very good service together with
Finnlines. We have very good conditions for RoRo traffic
at the Port of Oxelösund, with short approaches and
direct connections to the motorway and rail services. Today,
we work mainly with bulk and break bulk, but I would like to
see an increase in RoRo traffic in the future.
