More than a third of Sweden's softwood sawn-timber exports to the US and UK pass over the quays of Varberg, a Kattegat port that handles around 1.48 million m³ of timber a year and ranks as Scandinavia's leading sawn-wood export gateway. A dedicated forest-products terminal of roughly 160,000 m² handles sawn timber, roundwood, pulp and biofuels. The port is run by Hallands Hamnar, whose Halland ports lifted forest-product volumes 7.9% year-on-year to 836,000 tonnes in the first half of 2025. The new Farehamnen — a more than half-billion-krona investment billed as one of Europe's most modern forestry ports — is reshaping the Varberg waterfront. Hinterland access is by road and rail, feeding timber from sawmills across southern Sweden directly to the quayside. Regular container line services are not confirmed here; shippers with boxed cargo are better served by nearby Gothenburg, while Halmstad offers a regional alternative within the same port group. For freight forwarders, Varberg is the natural choice for forestry breakbulk and bulk moving out of the region.
