About This Seaport
Where most Swedish freight reaches the coast by road or rail, Västerås brings ocean cargo deep inland by water, sitting on Lake Mälaren as part of the Nordic region's largest inland port group. Operated within Mälarhamnar alongside Köping, the port mainly handles bulk goods, energy products and general cargo, plus some container traffic. Vessels of up to 135 metres call via the lake, with 160 metres planned once the Mälar project — the Swedish Maritime Administration's upgrade of the Södertälje Canal and Lake Mälaren fairways — is complete; the basin was dredged to 7 metres in 2021 and its roughly 1,225 metres of quay were renovated between 2018 and 2022. A low-emission inland shipping link connects Västerås to the deep-sea port of Stockholm Norvik. Road and rail distribute cargo across central Sweden's industrial belt, for which the port acts as a logistics outpost. For international container shipments, forwarders typically route through Norvik or Gothenburg, while Västerås excels at regional bulk and project cargo. A self-unloading energy hub rounds out the facilities.
