The Port of Gothenburg has entered into new agreements with Inter Terminals Sweden, one of its major clients in the energy sector. These agreements are designed to enhance predictability and long-term stability for both parties, fostering an environment conducive to further investments in the ongoing energy transition within their operations.
On July 1, the two parties finalised lease agreements that encompass both above-ground areas and underground rock caverns, alongside a cargo port dues agreement that is contingent on traffic and volume. Essentially, these agreements outline the compensation that will be paid to the port authority for Inter Terminals Sweden’s utilisation of the port’s land, facilities, and infrastructure.
Göran Eriksson, CEO of the Port of Gothenburg, remarked on the significance of the long-term agreement, stating, “With a 25-year agreement, we gain long-term stability and predictability, giving us a solid foundation for developing an energy port for the future focused on transitioning from fossil to renewable products. Having a skilled, long-term, and responsible partner like Inter Terminals Sweden with us in this effort is something we see as very positive.”
Inter Terminals Sweden is recognised as a leading independent operator in the storage and logistics of liquid energy products and materials, including an increasing focus on biofuels such as HVO and methanol. The company has maintained a presence in the Port of Gothenburg since 1964 and ranks as the port’s third-largest customer within the energy business segment.
Johan Zettergren, managing director of Inter Terminals Sweden, highlighted the company’s commitment to transitioning its operations, noting, “We have already begun transitioning our operations, and at the Port of Gothenburg, we’re already handling renewable fuels like FAME and HVO. With longer lease terms and a more transparent and predictable cost structure, we are now better positioned to scale up further – for example, by converting or building new tanks for renewable raw materials and products, as well as investing in new technology and an expanded green portfolio.”
