The Port of Gothenburg has contracted Peab to reconstruct the Energy Port's quay in question.

The project will involve geotechnical improvements, new foundations, demolition and reconstruction of the 300-meter quay, and, in some parts, a new process layout and equipment.

During the reconstruction, ships will still be able to call, and ongoing operations will continue (albeit to a more limited extent).

The feasibility study and preliminary planning will begin in Q4 2023. Construction works will commence in Q1 2026 and continue until Q1 2031.

"Kustkajen 2.0 is an immensely important investment for the Port of Gothenburg, where we also ensure to further strengthen the opportunities for society's transition to renewable energy sources, which will only accelerate during the quay's lifespan. The project is entirely in line with the port's long-term ambition to become Scandinavia's largest hub for renewable energy, and we are pleased to have a strong contractor in place, Peab, to help us realize this," said Erik Hallgren, Vice President Infrastructure at the Gothenburg Port Authority.

Mattias Emanuelsson, Deputy Regional Manager at Peab, added, "[...] We have been entrusted with carrying out the feasibility study and subsequent project planning for this complex project, which allows us to contribute efficient solutions for the challenging foundations of the project. We have been established locally in Gothenburg for many years and have broad expertise to deliver a successful outcome."
