The South Harbour

Being the most versatile part of the Port of Helsingborg, the South Harbour handles RoRo traffic, grain, and energy products, as well as warehousing, stuffing, and stripping.

The West Harbour

Featuring three container cranes and one mobile crane, the West Harbour handles around 250,000 TEU by sea and 35,000 TEU by rail yearly. Adjacent is our combi terminal, which enables transport directly from ships to railways.

Nordhamnen

The North Harbour

The North Harbour is the most accessible of all our ports and is right next to Helsingborg’s central terminal for trains, buses and ferries. The operational services are dominated by the busy ferry traffic to and from Elsinore, Denmark.
