APM Terminals reports quarterly record volumes in Sweden

APM Terminals in Gothenburg, Sweden has reported its highest quarterly volume of containers ever, handling more than 215,000 TEUs.

According to APM Terminals, decreasing imports, as a consequence of inflation, a weak krona and more restrained household consumption are the most important factors impacting the trade in Sweden. At the same time, exports are booming, especially of timber products and from basic industries, where efficient and environmentally friendly logistics solutions are high up on export companies’ wish lists.

“APM Terminals Gothenburg is one of just a few ports in the world that has increased volumes over the course of the year. In the third quarter, we achieved the highest turnover of TEUs in the port’s history,” stated Brian Bitsch, commercial manager at APM Terminals Gothenburg.

According to Martin Karlsson, operational manager at APM Terminals Gothenburg, truck turn times and vessel port stays are high on the list of priorities. “Despite unusually high volumes, we’ve maintained an average handling time for trucks of less than 30 minutes and serviced all vessels and trains on time. In addition, we’ve been able to meet the need for extra services, which has resulted in a weekly record of 15 ship calls,” said Karlsson.

“By implementing efficient processes and ensuring the right number of employees, machines and cranes, almost anything is possible,” he noted.
