The Swedish seaport's rail container traffic advanced by 6.4% year-on-year to 249k TEUs.
"The signals we received from the market earlier this year regarding increased purchasing power and demand have proven to be accurate. Export volumes are also continuing to rise, partly due to the Swedish forest industry expanding its exports via the Port of Gothenburg," Claes Sundmark, Vice President of Sales at the Port of Gothenburg, highlighted.
As such, the Swedish seaport is heading towards beating its 2023 all-time high container result.
At the same time, ro-ro traffic contracted by 3.6% yoy to 270k units, with the finished vehicle logistics segment noting the same decrease to 132k units.
The Port of Gothenburg also took care of 10 million tonnes of liquid bulk (-9.1% yoy) as well as 270kt of dry & break-bulk (+31.1% yoy).
With 652k ferry & cruise travellers, passenger traffic was up 2.5% on the H1 2023 result.
