Sweden’s largest port in Gothenburg broke various throughput records during 2025. Freight trains moved 60% of the containers in the port, which is an all-time high just like the 934,000 handled TEUs, up 4% from 2024.
Rail freight moved 529,000 TEUs in 2025, which is 5% higher than the previous year (505,000) and a record for the Swedish port. “Rail growth is primarily driven by increased volumes on the rail shuttles to and from terminals in the Stockholm region and northern Sweden, as well many hinterland regions”, said Claes Sundmark, Vice President Sales & Marketing at the Port of Gothenburg.
Regarding total TEUs, the port handled 934,000 compared to the 902,000 of 2024, a year-on-year increase of 4% and also the highest value in the history of the port. Ro-Ro operations remained stable, with 525,000 units moved in 2025 and 524,000 in 2024. The only decreases recorded at the port of Gothenburg concerned the number of new cars moved (251,000 vs 257,000) and the production of energy (20.7 million tonnes in 2025 vs 21.8 in 2024).
