Many of our customers have set ambitious climate goals, with sustainable transport as an important part of their success. At APM Terminals Gothenburg, we have extensive experience of sustainable logistics solutions, and we're happy to help you, the customer, to achieve your climate goals for your logistics solutions.

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.
