MAERSK-owned, Antwerp-based AP Moller Terminals (APMT) has taken over the 800,000-TEU annual capacity container terminal at Gothenburg, Sweden's largest box handling facility.

Once called the Skandia Container Terminal, an now APM Terminals Gothenburg, the facility, which handles 60 per cent of Sweden's maritime container traffic, has been let on a 25-year lease.

APMT plans to invest US$115 million, partly on three new super post-Panamax cranes, to make the port more competitive as a north west European hub, reports Newark's Journal of Commerce. Gothenburg is served by 24 daily rail services to commercial and industrial centres in Sweden and Norway.

Keld Pedersen, who will leave Port of Tanjung Pelepas as chief operating officer where he has been for the last five years, will take over APMT's new Gothenburg operations.
