Fairway projects
The Swedish Maritime Administration, together with ports, municipalities, and other authorities, runs several projects aimed at increasing safety and adapting fairways to meet the needs of maritime traffic.
Approach to Norvik
Improved conditions for the shipping of the future by enabling a new, more efficient pilot boarding location for Nynäshamn, Norvik, Södertälje and the ports of Lake Mälaren.
Karlskrona Fairway
Widening and deepening the fairway to enhance navigational safety to the Port of Karlskrona.
Kappelshamn
The Swedish Armed Forces’ activities in the Baltic Sea are increasing, and the preparedness of maritime traffic needs to be strengthened. The work includes, among other measures, the expansion of port infrastructure and dredging.
Landsort Fairway
Widening and deepening the fairway between Södertälje and Landsort to improve safety, accessibility and capacity.
Malmporten
Dredging works in Luleå’s fairways and port area to increase the capacity and accessibility of the fairways. This contributes to more efficient maritime transport and safeguards shipping for many years to come.
Skandia Gateway
A major deepening of the fairway to ensure direct maritime access to Sweden and safeguard the business sector's access to global markets.
Sundsvall Fairway
Dredging and enhancement of navigational aids to improve safety, capacity and accessibility in the fairways leading to the Port of Sundsvall.
Södertälje Lock and Canal
Improved maritime safety and accessibility in the public fairways through the Södertälje Canal and Lake Mälaren. The aim is to create more sustainable and efficient freight transport and to safeguard commercial shipping to and from Lake Mälaren.
Umeå Fairway
Improved safety, capacity and accessibility in the fairway to the port, enabling more efficient transport and meeting future needs.
Locks in Trollhätte Canal
To secure the future of shipping on Lake Vänern, new locks are planned for the Trollhätte Canal at Lilla Edet, Trollhättan and Vänersborg.
