The Swedish seaport noted its new all-time container traffic high, which also includes a record number of rail-borne TEUs - 529,000 (+4.8% year-on-year).

Gothenburg's ro-ro traffic climbed 0.2% on the 2024 result, totalling 525,000 cargo units.

The finished vehicle logistics segment, on the other hand, contracted by 2.3% yoy to 251,000.

With 1,406,000 travellers, the 2025 passenger season gained 1.2% yoy.

The Port of Gothenburg also handled 20.7 million tonnes of liquid bulk (energy products), a decrease of 5.0% yoy.

"Record volumes are proof that the port has become even more attractive as a logistics hub," Claes Sundmark, VP Sales & Marketing at the Port of Gothenburg, commented on his seaport's container traffic. "We see several drivers behind this growth: the port's range of deep-sea services has expanded significantly with two new direct services to Asia. The port's rail system, Railport Scandinavia, is a stable and unique global network that continues to grow, providing efficient access to the port for all of Sweden."

He also noted, "On top of that, other major ports in Europe have struggled with capacity challenges during the year, while the Port of Gothenburg's terminal operators have been able to handle both existing and additional volumes."
