Gothenburg selects new train shunting operator

With around 70 trains each day handled by several different operators, the railway lines at the port are the busiest in Sweden. At present, shunting is managed by Green Cargo, although over the years several other companies have applied for a permit to handle shunting at the port.

To regulate operations and achieve equal conditions for all rail operators, the port decided to invite tenders for the service, holding the belief that shunting should provide a good basis for increasing both volume and productivity at all its terminals.

Baneservice Skandinavia is already responsible for operating the multi-modal terminal in Gothenburg and the Bro Terminal in Stockholm on behalf of Coop.
