Shipping and vehicle logistics company Wallenius Wilhelmsen has started operating the car terminal at the Swedish port of Gothenburg.
Named Gothenburg International Auto & RoRo Terminal, or GIART, the terminal offers full RoRo and terminal handling services. It has two quay positions, 240,000m2 of terminal space, rail connectivity and pre-delivery inspection facilities.
Further phased upgrades are planned to expand value-added processing.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen formally took over as the terminal operator on 2 February 2026, under a 12-year concession agreement, announced last January.
With the terminal, the company said it aims to develop a regional hub and enhance its logistics network as well as the port’s capacity to deliver efficient, integrated logistics solutions.
“When we were awarded the contract, we talked about a strategic milestone for our network and a shared ambition to co-create a Scandinavian hub. Today, that vision becomes reality,” said John Felitto, COO logistics services at Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
With a prime strategic position, Gothenburg port’s car terminal plays a crucial role in linking the Nordic region with key global markets across Asia, North America, Africa, Australia and Northern Europe. Approximately 251,000 new vehicles were handled in the port in 2025.
“We are very optimistic about Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s ability to continue developing the car terminal at the Port of Gothenburg. The company has presented a strong business plan and has credibly demonstrated how they will achieve the volume targets they have committed to and operate a competitive terminal with a customer-centric approach,” added Göran Eriksson, CEO at the Port of Gothenburg.
