Port Entry - a joint entry for the entire port

Port Entry is a joint point of entry to the port area. One joint ID check for all cargo terminals makes life easier for drivers and provides a clear route into the port for better reception and an efficient traffic flow.

HGV drivers are also assisted by recessed space detectors on the 29 HGV parking bays for a parking guidance system together with a sign that shows where drivers should go to find a vacant space.

Charging Infrastructure for Electric Trucks at Port Entry.

At the shared entrance to the Port of Gothenburg, there is a state-of-the-art charging infrastructure for heavy-duty trucks. Here, four charging stations are available, each with a capacity of up to 350 kW. The charging stations are strategically located to meet the needs of trucks passing through daily, playing a crucial role in the port's overall goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

These charging stations are open to the public and welcome all electric vehicles, specifically tailored for heavy-duty trucks. By providing accessible and efficient charging infrastructure, the port aims to promote the transition to more sustainable transportation options.

Collaboration between Göteborg Energi and the Port of Gothenburg.

The charging stations were developed through a collaboration between Gothenburg Energi and the Port of Gothenburg. This partnership aims to create efficient and sustainable solutions for the transportation sector, supporting the port's overarching goals.

The investment in charging infrastructure is part of the Port of Gothenburg's long-term vision to create an environmentally friendly and sustainable port environment. By offering modern and efficient charging facilities, the port supports the ongoing development of electrified freight transport and encourages the adoption of sustainable energy alternatives.

The Port of Gothenburg is classified as a protected object

The Port of Gothenburg and all its terminals are classified as protected objects and are subject to the Swedish Installations Protection Act. They are also classified as protected maritime installations. Maritime security is a collective term to describe measures taken in order to protect shipping against various kinds of external threats. It involves strict security requirements, such as access controls and bans on taking photographs and filming.

The terminals are subject to the EU’s port security legislation, which has been introduced to ensure that EU-critical ports can be kept open even at higher security levels. The Port of Gothenburg is also subject to the Swedish Protective Security Act, which deals with the security and functionality of Sweden.
