Container rail traffic totalled 260k TEUs, up 4.4% on the H1 2024 result.

"Repositioning empty containers between ports is necessary for the logistics system to function, but ideally it should be kept to a minimum. The fact that we are handling more loaded containers while managing fewer empties reflects greater efficiency across the entire logistics chain," highlighted Claes Sundmark, Vice President Sales and Marketing at the Port of Gothenburg.

The Swedish seaport also noted in a press release, "APM Terminals, which operates the port's container terminal, reported its best month ever in July [2025] with 47,805 TEUs handled [...]"

Also, more ro-ro cargo units went through Gothenburg's quays, up 0.7% year-on-year to 272,000.

The finished vehicle logistics segment saw a decrease of 6.8% yoy to 124,000 new cars.

Less liquid and dry bulk were taken care of, too, 9.4 million tonnes (-13.8% yoy) and 155 thousand tonnes (-43.2% yoy), respectively.

On the other hand, passenger traffic grew by 126% yoy to 579 thousand ferry & cruise travellers.
