| X-press feeders calls at Uddevalla |
|
| X-press feeders are a so-called "common feeder", open to anyone to book load, which provides an alternative to short-sea shipping |
|
The X-press feeders ship MV Ice Runner will call Uddevalla on a regular basis, with weekly traffic on Thursdays. The vessel operates Uddevalla - Gothenburg - Rotterdam, providing customers in our immediate area an alternative to short-sea shipping to/from Rotterdam.
This gives shorter transport routes for the industry in our area, with less emissions and better environment as a result. |

| Prepared for the new customs rules - with a new customs system |
|
| In the coming year, new customs rules will be introduced for customs warehousing for EU goods versus non EU goods |
|
| The new customs rules imply increased requirements for traceability of third country goods and that terminals, and the systems used, must be approved by the Customs Administration. We are working hard to prepare for this and we will implement a new customs and warehouse system early in the autumn. |

| Renovation of port crane |
|
| Renovation and update of one of our fixed cranes at Skeppsholmspier will be performed during the summer and autumn |
|
This is an investment that will secure capacity at Skeppsholmspier for future operations. We can still operate unloading and loading with our other three fixed cranes during the renovation. Our large mobile crane also has the ability to assist, if needed.
We do not expect the work to imply any major restrictions, but the result will be a crane with better capacity and safer operation. |

|
We have had regular traffic between S:t Petersburg and Uddevalla "one route" to South America for some time now. We are pleased to announce that there is now also the possibility of short sea shipping with the shipping company KESS (K Line European Sea Highway Services) via Uddevalla.
