Gävle hamn, Port facility in Gävle Municipality, Sweden.
Gävle hamn is a port facility in Gävle with eight terminals that handle different types of cargo. The facility processes containers, steel products, and forest materials across multiple docks.
The port developed as a key advancement in Swedish maritime infrastructure. Over time it grew to become the country's third-largest container handling facility.
The port serves as a junction between the raw material industries of northern Sweden and the distribution networks of central Sweden. This role shapes how goods flow between regions and connects local producers to wider markets.
The harbor has a navigation channel with depths of 9.4 to 10 meters (31 to 33 feet). Vessels up to 100,000 tons can enter but require pilot services to navigate safely.
The CombiTerminal Granudden at the port is Sweden's second-largest rail terminal. About 20 trains depart daily from this location carrying cargo to all parts of the country.
