Case Study: Gothenburg-Shanghai

In collaboration with IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, APM Terminals can provide climate calculations so you can work out which routes and modes of transport are most sustainable. In the example below, we see that trains from northern Sweden to Gothenburg and onward journeys by ocean-going ship to Rotterdam emit 82% less CO2 than transports along the long east coast of Sweden.

1. 63 kg CO₂/TEU

• Northern Sweden – Gothenburg – Rotterdam – Shanghai:
• From northern Sweden to Gothenburg via railway. Loading on to mainliner (50% utilization) to Rotterdam. No reloading. 70% utilization of mainliner to Shanghai.

2. 356 kg CO₂/TEU

• Northern Sweden – Rotterdam – Shanghai:
• From northern Sweden, truck to the nearest port. From the port in northern Sweden to Rotterdam with feeder (90% utilization). Reloading in Rotterdam with 70% utilization of mainliner to Shanghai.
