Port of Gothenburg reports stable freight flows

Cargo volumes at the Port of Gothenburg developed steadily from January to September 2026.

Container volumes were in line with the previous year, while several segments grew clearly: new cars rose 14% and energy products 10%, and Ro/Ro traffic and rail volumes also continued to increase.

The port handled 698,000 TEU in the period, against 699,000 TEU a year earlier.

Behind the largely unchanged total lies a 2% rise in laden containers and an 11% fall in empty container handling, meaning more cargo and less air than before. Imports of laden containers increased 7%, while exports decreased 1%.
