Cruise collaborations
Cruise Europe
Network With Stockholm Cruise Network, a network through which Ports of Stockholm deals with the majority of cruise marketing, we work to make sure that Stockholm is on the map of attractive cruise destinations. The objectives are to work in new markets over the long term and to increase the number of turnarounds, which means being the location where passengers begin and/or end their cruises and therefore often choose to spend an extra day and night ashore.

Environmental focus
Ports of Stockholm has been awarded Swedish government funding, and together with the Baltic Sea ports of Copenhagen/Malmö, Aarhus and Helsinki EU funding, for investing in onshore power supply for cruise vessels. For Ports of Stockholm the investment means equipping two central quays in Stockholm with high voltage. The work will be completed in 2024. When the project is completed, the assessment is that at least 45 percent of the cruise calls to Ports of Stockholm can connect to onshore power.
For many years Ports of Stockholm has had good capacity facilities for offloading black and grey water in port. The shipping companies are continuously striving for improvement. Many vessels have their own water management, recycling and waste sorting aboard and for those who do not Ports of Stockholm can provide support for these activities at our ports.
Ports of Stockholm also actively works collaboratively to reduce the impact on the environment.
