Sweden’s core ports welcome the revised regulation on European Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) adopted by the European Council in mid-June. All five of Sweden’s core ports retain their status in the network and thereby continue to play vital roles in the EU’s increased efforts to build a sustainable and robust European transport network.

By establishing a logistics node for captured carbon dioxide at Stockholm Norvik Port it is possible to create an efficient and sustainable transport chain for carbon dioxide from several potential emitters in East Sweden. This is revealed in the final report of the feasibility study of the NICE project – Norvik Infrastructure CCS East Sweden.

Stockholm Norvik Port has recently been designated comprehensive status following the proposal of an agreement on the EU regulations for development of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). Being part of the EU transport network and gaining comprehensive status makes it, among other things, possible to apply for EU funding. This gives Stockholm Norvik Port greater potential to continue to develop as a node for sustainable transport and to become a leading energy hub.

Ports of Stockholm, Port of Turku and Viking Line have formally entered into partnership to create a green shipping corridor between Turku and Stockholm, which will be fossil fuel-free by 2035 at the latest. The result will be a framework with scalable solutions for the transition to fossil-free fuels and shipping with low climate impact.

Ports of Stockholm, in collaboration with many other ports and stakeholders, has been given the green light to apply for EU funding for three sustainability initiatives. The major focus of the projects is the development of the electricity infrastructure. This will support the transition to greener shipping by lowering quayside air particle emissions.
