GRK Sverige has been entrusted with setting up the new piled structure, featuring four dolphins, which will enable the Swedish seaport to handle more liquids - in volume and in type.

The work also includes erecting a new control building plus tank-connecting pipes.

The new energy jetty is part of the Nordporten (North Gate) project, which will, among others, also see the expansion of two quays, setup of an onshore power supply station, and dredging. Work will be carried out until 2030.

"The bulk of the fuel for aviation and road traffic that goes through our port fulfils the demand of northern Sweden. But with the new energy jetty, we will render the [green] transition of shipping possible, likewise we'll be able to handle significantly more different energy types in the port," commented Patrik Mattsson, CEO, the Port of Umeå.
