Timber terminal opens at Gothenburg

A new transloading terminal for timber products has opened at the Port of Gothenburg, meaning more sawmills throughout the Nordic region can now ship their timber via the port  The terminal will be run by the family-owned company Sören Thyr AB.

Paper, pulp and timber products account for a large proportion of exports that pass through Gothenburg. Up to now, the port has lacked a dedicated terminal for transloading sawn timber products. Hence the investment in the new terminal.

The new terminal is adjacent to the port’s ro-ro and container terminals. Linked to the rail system, it can handle more than 1m cubic metres of timber each year.
