Having received support from the country's environmental protection agency to combat climate change, the Swedish seaport plans to offer shore power supply at its energy harbour as of summer 2022.

"It is a bit of a chicken and egg situation. We have followed the development domestically and internationally for a long time for the sectors we have in Gävle, namely container, bulk, project, and tanker traffic. It feels incredibly hopeful that shipping lines from the energy sector will now start preparing their newbuilds to draw power from the shore," Niklas Hermansson, responsible for traffic at the Port of Gävle, commented.
