New railway meets industry’s transport needs

Port of Luleå now completes first phase of new land infrastructure – a major investment to handle increased traffic and cargo volumes. – We are meeting our customers’ needs for flexible and sustainable transport solutions, says Anders Dahl, CEO of Port of Luleå.

In May, work began to increase capacity and modernise Port of Luleå’s railway facility. It stretches from the Swedish Transport Administration’s tracks, located a few kilometers from the port, to the connection to Viktoriahamnen. At the terminal area, one track has now become three to handle larger cargo volumes and meet customer demands. This means the railway is ready to operate with axle loads of 32.5 tonnes – a unique capacity in Sweden.

– More and heavier trains can operate on our railway. The work we have done is a major and important part of the port’s infrastructure investments. We are now ready to receive larger cargo volumes, says Anders Dahl, CEO of Port of Luleå.
