The Port of Halmstad will receive SEK12.1 million (almost €1.05m) for setting up a transhipment yard in Oceanhamnen, a brand-new harbour set to be ready by winter 2025/spring 2026.
The project, worth in total about SEK30m, will see the construction of a 25,500 m2 yard, out of which two 5,120 m2 areas (four tonnes of bearing capacity per m2) will be dedicated to storing and handling of cargo.
"We welcome the news that the EU will further support the development of our port. The port is an important part of Halmstad's infrastructure and a strong contributing factor for companies to choose to establish and expand in our municipality. This expansion contributes to the green transition, to providing Halmstad residents with work, and to strengthening our growth. Good for people, the environment, and the economy," commented Stefan Pålsson, who chairs Halmstad's Municipal Board.
