The Port of Göteborg container terminal operator, APM Terminals, has launched a rail freight shuttle between Helsingborg and Göteborg. The service started in February with one departure per week, with plans to increase to three departures in the near future.
The shuttle, owned by APM Terminals and delivered by Dania Connect, transports containers between Helsingborg (in the south of Sweden) and Göteborg in just five hours. “By launching our own shuttle, we aim to create business value for importers and exporters in the Helsingborg region. We are already seeing strong interest from both shipping lines and cargo owners in the local area,” says Mathias Weismann Poulsen, Chief Commercial Officer at APM Terminals Nordic.
In total, nearly 30 locations across Sweden are connected to the Port of Göteborg by rail. In 2025, 529,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) were transported to or from the port by rail which is the highest figure in the port’s history. This new shuttle creates opportunities for further growth within the system.
