| Flexibility in projecttransports |
|
| In November we had the privilege yet again to handle project cargo of the heavier kind at our Port. |
|
The cargo was shipped from Nhava Sheva, India via Hamburg to Uddevalla. DHL in Hamburg was responsible for reloading directly from Ocean vessel to a Coaster vessel. The cargo, consisting of generators, general cargo and containers, was then discharged by us in Uddevalla.
Flexibility and short handling makes the cargo closer and faster to the final destination in a combination of schedueled traffic and Short Sea Shipping . |

| New Port Cargo Dues |

| Port Cargo Dues will be adjusted by 1 of January 2016 |

This fee reflects the costs of infrastructure and ship traffic. It will also cover costs caused by new demands from authorities and costs connected with regulatory requirements connected with the terms for being a ISPS-classed port. This fee is chosen by us to be included in our taxes.
During 2016 we will make larger infrastructual investments. Among others - new railroadtracks, asphalting of larger areas and several improvements in our quays. |

2015 is soon coming to its end, and the time of summaries are here. We are approaching one of our greatest holidays and there are lots of thoughts during these last few days.
2015 has been an intense year and we have had the pleasure of a major increase of goods flow. Just the other day we reached one million tons through our quays. It has been a year with both excitement and challenges.
Looking forward, there is also quite a few exciting challenges for coming years. Immediately after the holidays has past, we will start the remodeling of Skeppsholmspier, this will our major project for the next year. A larger terminal area will be created during the spring and summer. We will remake and invest in doors for one of our warehouses and also invest in other areas at Sörvik. All this to make better logistic solutions available for our customers.
We offer sustainable transport solutions, a clear context in modern logistic business trade. More and more companies chose to work with longterm-based solutions focused on quality and environment. Or as we look upon it - an absolute condition for success in the future.
