SCA signed in for another five years in Kiel

PortSCA Logistics has extended its partnership with the Port of Kiel for another five years. The port is a central hub for the company’s shipments of forest-related products between Sweden and the continent to keep up with growing volumes. The terminal’s capacity has recently been significantly increased.

SCA Logistics, who owns and operates the three RoRo vessels SCA ÖSTRAND, SCA ORTVIKEN and SCA OBBOLA, specialised for transport of forest products on cassettes, established a terminal in Kiel in 2016 having evaluated several ports along Germany’s North and Baltic Sea coastline. The decisive factor in Kiel’s favour was that the port had available space for expansion and was prepared to adapt facilities to the company’s needs.

Today, the terminal can handle both RoRo and breakbulk vessels on the same site, which is equipped with cranes and multiple RoRo ramps. Another important factor is the port’s intermodal connections. There are several railway lines connecting to the terminal with the capacity to handle full size freight trains, thus facilitating efficient freight forwarding within Europe.

In addition to SCA, Kiel also handles cargo flows for companies such as Holmen Board and Paper. Around half of shipments are destined for customers in Germany, while the rest are shipped elsewhere in Europe or, in some cases globally.
