We currently offer this service primarily in Piteå, where we mainly stuff sawed wood products and paper into containers. Stuffing is done by loadplate or truck. Our trucks are built to be able to drive inside the container, to allow for efficient emptying or filling. Stripping is mainly done by truck or wheel loader.

In Skellefteå, we strip containers that have arrived by rail.

Maybe your goods can also be stuffed into a container to facilitate reaching more destinations? Read more here.

We have a broad experience in loading and unloading different types of ships. Everything from bulk to general cargo, containers and ro-ro.

ShoreLink Terminal handles an annual volume of 3,000,000 metric tons of bulk goods, mainly consisting of goods such as coal, coke-oven coke, limestone, bentonite, dolomite, scraps, ferroalloys etc.

The coal imported by SSAB in Luleå is by far the dominant type of goods, with an annual volume of more than 1.5 million metric tons.

ShoreLink Terminal handles an annual volume of about 500,000 tons of kraftliner and paper pulp. The goods are very sensitive to mechanical damage. We continually work to improve quality assurance and exception reporting, thus minimising potential damage. Kraftliner and pulp are being handled mainly in the Piteå and Kalix area.

ShoreLink Terminal handles an annual volume of 500,000 cubic metres of pulpwood and chips in the Piteå and Kalix area. The goods are used as raw material in the local paper mills. Pulpwood and chips are managed by several major players in a transport chain demanding high capacity and functionality. Our staff and our cranes, equipment and machines are more than successful in meeting these demands.

Local sawmills in Norrbotten and Västerbotten export large volumes of Northern Swedish quality wood to the continent, through our ports. Annually, 800,000 cubic meters of sawn wood products are handled by ShoreLink Terminal, mainly in the Skellefteå and Piteå areas.
