Rapid rail links Stockholm and Port of Gothenburg

In just six hours, freight will be transported from Årsta to the port, where on arrival the freight trucks go straight to the APM Terminals container facility, with shipping links to China, India, the Middle East and the USA.

The rail shuttle will run five days a week in both directions and will be operated by TM Rail, which already has a rail shuttle service between Örebro and the Port of Gothenburg. The combiterminal in Årsta is operated by the rapidly growing logistics company Logent, which recently took over the terminal.

Magnus Kårestedt, chief executive of the Port of Gothenburg, said, “Stockholm is the most expansive area in Sweden and has a considerable need for efficient freight transport. I\’m convinced that the new shuttle will reinforce companies in the Stockholm region even further.\”
