Hogia software for Stockholm

Hutchison Ports Stockholm has announced a new service with a direct connection between Rotterdam and its terminal at Norvik will commence this November.

Holmen Skog will be the first forestry company in Sweden to use Golden Bullet 2, touted by rail company Green Cargo AB as the most efficient roundwood timber wagon on the market. The rail freight company has set up a dedicated organisation for the shipper to ensure flexibility, reliability and frequency as demanded.

A new rail freight terminal for timber has opened in Rundvik, Swsseden. Financed by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth, the Swedish Transport Administration, the Västerbotten Region and the local Nordmaling Municipality, the SEK57M (US$6.6M) facility caters mainly for shipments made by SCA Forest.

The web portal being developed by Wabtec and the Port of Los Angeles, and its business model to commercialise data exchange, has found its first customer in Europe.

Can ports on Sweden’s east coast challenge Gothenburg’s leading gateway role?

Earlier this year, Hutchison Ports Sweden AB took delivery of the first ZPMC straddle carriers in the Western Hemisphere, for use at its new Norvik
container terminal (CTN) concession from Ports of Stockholm AB.
