Today nine out of ten consumer goods arrive in Sweden by sea from other countries. Transferring more cargo away from Sweden’s already congested roads and railways to be transported instead by ship all the way to the heart of Sweden’s largest consumer area means that the supply of goods to the region will be more sustainable.
