Port infrastructure facilities in the Malmö Northern Harbour

The Port of Malmö plays an important role in the regional, national and international transport system, and combined transport from Malmö has achieved a very large growth during the last 8-10 years. While transport demand increases, the present terminal facilities are lacking space and there are no expansion possibilities. It is thus necessary to establish terminal facilities with a larger capacity for multimodal/intermodal transport. A global project for the development of the Northern Harbour has been prepared to overcome infrastructure bottlenecks and to increase capacity for combined and multimodal transport in the Port of Malmö. Furthermore, by moving the existing ro-ro line away from the city centre, the environment in the city centre will be improved significantly.
