SEK 500 million is being invested in a completely new loading facility.The loader on quay 5 was for a long time the only loading route in the harbour. When a breakdown in 2011 resulted in an 18-day stoppage, it was decided that another loading route between the warehouse and the boats would be procured. Five years later, the new loading facility was inaugurated on quay 7. The decision for a redundant loader is one of many investments that LKAB has made in the harbour of Narvik.
