"APM terminals is proud to work with Gothenburg Port Authority to stimulate economic growth in Sweden and to increase bearing on global trade," said Henrik Kristensen, CEO, APM Terminals Gothenburg.
APM Terminals took over operations at the container terminal in January 2012. In conjunction with the transfer, an investment programme worth EUR82 million was rolled out. The programme will result in extensive upgrading of the terminal, including two new Super Post Panamax ship-to-shore cranes, expansion of the rail system with more and longer tracks, new rail-mounted cranes, and new diesel-electric straddle carriers.
Gothenburg Port Authority and APM Terminals have agreed that the current crane capacity at the terminal is sufficient, which means that the third quayside crane that was planned is no longer needed. Instead, an extension to the agreement has been signed. The agreement comprises two parts: a market share guarantee and a new investment programme worth EUR26 million. Both parts will run until 2024. The investment programme will focus on improved customer service and productivity on both land and water, according to a Gothenburg Port statement.
