Few Swedish ports north of Stockholm carry the freight weight of Gavle (SE GVX): it ranks as the country's third-largest container port and the main maritime outlet for the industrial belt of central Sweden. A container terminal opened in 2021 lifted capacity to roughly 600,000 TEU, complementing dry bulk, forest products and petroleum across some 900 vessel calls and about 6 million tonnes a year. Terminal operator Yilport runs both the container and bulk facilities on the Gulf of Bothnia. Quay depths around 7.9 m and an approach channel near 9.4 m suit Baltic feeder and short-sea tonnage, with direct rail and motorway links inland. The port handles reefer, breakbulk and boxed cargo under standard Swedish and EU customs practice. For larger deep-sea direct services, Gothenburg remains the primary alternative, with Stockholm/Norvik also nearby.
