The future of logistics starts in Lake Mälaren. It is our vision, a vision we truly believe in and live for.
For us, the only option for the future of logistics is sustainable logistics. Shifting goods from road to sea is key to reducing the climate impact of the entire transport sector. Shipping is the most energy-efficient mode of transport, generating significantly lower emissions per tonne-kilometre than road transport. By choosing the sea route already inland, companies contribute to both reduced climate impact and less congestion on roads and railways.
Lake Mälaren is a transport route that links the Swedish hinterland with the Baltic Sea and international markets. With modern port facilities and short distances to major consumption and production areas, Lake Mälaren and Mälarhamnar offer unique opportunities for efficient and sustainable logistics solutions.
Mälarhamnar is working actively to promote the transfer of goods from road to sea. Through investments in electrification, energy efficiency and smart logistics, we create the conditions for a greener transport chain. In collaboration with customers, shipping companies and transport operators, we drive development towards a more sustainable transport system.
Lake Mälaren is more than a lake - it is a road to the future. A sustainable transport route where the climate, business and society benefit from going by sea.
We are Environment and Quality certified according to ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015. We always work with customers and stakeholders in focus, and with improving and developing the company's business processes and its management system.
