Freight volumes via Umeå's facilities increased in 2022
Recent figures from Umeå's facilities show that the amount of goods to and from the region increased in 2022.- In recent years, even during the pandemic, we have seen a stable increase in the number of handled cargo units (TEU) via Port of Umeå and Umeå combi terminal. Among other things, increased exports of wood products, Wasaline's new ferry and the ongoing new industrialization in the Northern Sweden are behind the increase, where Umeå is becoming the region's natural logistic node. We also feel that more people are willing to invest in more environmentally friendly transport and then shipping and rail are the natural alternatives, which could be another reason for the increase, says INAB's market strategist Daniel Rönnberg.
