Malmo to get a new port facility

CMP (Copenhagen Malmö Port) will get a new port facility at Malmö’s Northern Port. The City of Malmö and the construction company Skanska has signed a contract worth SEK 845 million. The port facility, including three new terminals, will be operational in the first quarter 2011. Today's cargo traffic will be removed from areas close to the city to the new facility, and transshipments will be more effective. When the container terminal moves to the Northern Port, an area of 140.000 square metres will be available in the Free Port as temporary parking place for cars bound for the Baltic Sea area.
The ferry berths in Frihamnen (Free Port) will be designated for cruise vessels and Malmö will be able to offer berths for four cruise vessels.
