Gothenburg port exports rise

8/22/2013 9:27:48 AM

The number of export containers passing through the Port of Gothenburg increased by four percent through to the end of June. At the same time, imports fell by one percent. Overall, container trade improved by two percent during the first six months of this year.

Around 30 percent of Swedish foreign trade passes through the Port of Gothenburg and over 60 percent of all container movements.

"Swedish foreign trade has remained relatively strong in an unsettled world economy. A clear trend is that volumes during the second quarter are better in the majority of freight categories compared to the first quarter," said Magnus Kårestedt, Port of Gothenburg chief executive.

In total, 466,000 containers were shipped via the Port of Gothenburg between January and June, two percent up on the same period last year.
