The new pier at the Port of of Kapellskär finished

The 245-metre-long pier is now since Monday open and ready to handle vessels at the Port of Kapellskär. The port now has two new modern quay-berths. Before the end of 2016 the entire port is expected to be finished after three years of construction.

“It feels really good now that the new pier is ready and we can see the results of what we have worked on for so many years,” says Tobias Kednert, Project Manager for the Port of Kapellskär Development Project.

“As vessel sizes are increasing, we decided to install some of Europe’s biggest ramps on the pier, to be able to welcome even the next generation of vessels. The new port has a deeper harbour basin and five quay-berths with services providing electricity, water and waste water management.”
“The new pier is a welcome addition that means we can handle increasing freight volumes and are ready to face the future with ever larger vessel sizes,” says Peter Lundman, Technical Operations Manager at the Port of Kapellskär.
