Official inauguration of Stockholm Norvik Port

Stockholm Norvik Port, Sweden’s newest major freight port, was officially inaugurated on 26 April. The port launched operations in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic was at its height, and as a result, the official opening ceremony had to be postponed.

The King and the Crown Princess of Sweden visited Stockholm Norvik Port on 26 April and cut the ribbon.

“The Crown Princess and I have been given a guided tour of the ports and are very impressed by these modern facilities, the different modes of transport that meet here, the flow of goods that connects Stockholm to the rest of the world, and all the new green technology that has been developed here. Instead of the inauguration of a newly opened port, I have had the pleasure of inaugurating a fully operational port,” stated the King of the country.

Karin Wanngård, mayor of Stockholm, commented, “The sustainable supply of goods to the Stockholm Region is one of Ports of Stockholm’s most important roles. Today nine goods in ten arrive in Sweden by sea and Stockholm is by far the largest consumer region in the country.”
