Sweden's largest ports attract significant growth while smaller ports experience declining volumes, and the trend is only accelerating, revealed recent figures from the Swedish Ports Association. The third quarter of the year was challenging for Swedish shipping and many Swedish ports lost volume.

This has resulted in delays and many vessels being forced to wait for their slot.
