Supporting the green transition of the port industry with electrified operations and with the goal of becoming the first fossil-free port in the world
Yilport Sweden, which holds the Gävle port concession, operates the container and bulk terminals in Gävle. The port is strategically located just north of Stockholm, directly connected to the industrial region of central Sweden, and is the largest container port on the Swedish east coast.
Gävle Municipality (through Gävle Hamn AB), Infranode and Yilport are jointly investing through Yilport Sweden to meet the growing demand for container transport. In 2021, a new container terminal was inaugurated, roughly doubling capacity to 600,000 TEU, equivalent to 600,000 standard shipping containers.
In addition to its port operations, Yilport Sweden also manages several logistics centres within the port area as well as operations at the Rosersberg logistics hub, just south of Arlanda Airport.
Yilport Sweden is co-owned with Yilport Holding, a global port operator with around 30 terminals in its international portfolio.
