Västervik (SE VVK) is a small port in the Småland region of south-east Sweden historically associated with the ferry crossing to Visby on Gotland. The direct service, long operated by Destination Gotland, has been suspended since 2023; the municipality is counting on resumption through the government's Gotland traffic procurement process for 2027 and beyond, which explicitly provides for a supplementary harbour no further north than Västervik. Commercial breakbulk and container handling is marginal, with only limited berths and modest depths available. Road and rail connect the town to the southern Swedish hinterland. For current Gotland connections, Nynäshamn and Oskarshamn serve as the main departure points; for container liner services, Norrköping is the stronger regional alternative.
