Port of Malmö, Maritime transportation hub in Malmö, Sweden

The Port of Malmö is a maritime facility on the eastern shore of the Öresund strait in Malmö, Sweden. It lies on land reclaimed north of the city centre and is operated by Copenhagen Malmö Port AB. The harbour handles cargo such as imported cars and has ferry links to Travemünde.

Malmö lacked a deep natural harbour; until the late 18th century goods were ferried to the wooden Fergebron pier, repeatedly wrecked by ice and storms. In the 1770s Frans Suell initiated the first real harbour, which by 1820 had two piers with depths of 1.5 to 4 metres. The railway arrived in 1856, and in 2001 Malmö Hamn merged with Copenhagen's port as Copenhagen Malmö Port AB.

The port is woven into Malmö's urban fabric, where maritime work happens close to where people live and gather. Residents can see ships and cargo operations from public spaces, making the working harbor a visible part of city life.

Keep in mind this is an active working port where operations happen daily, and not all areas are open to the public. To see the port, you can walk along the waterfront or watch ships and loading from public viewpoints.

Malmö has no natural deep harbour; ships drawing more than about two metres anchored out in the Öresund and cargo was rowed ashore. The artificial anchorages that secured those roads, known as Kon, Blidan and Kalven, survived until the late 18th century. Toyota uses the port to deliver vehicles to Scandinavia.
