NYAB signs extensive contract for expansion of the port of Umeå
07.03.25NYAB has been awarded a contract by Umeå Hamn AB for the Northern Quay project, which is part of an extensive redevelopment and expansion of the port. The contract is valued at SEK 164 million and will start in March 2025, with completion in the autumn of 2026.
As part of the project, NYAB will construct a new quay within the port area and demolish the existing one. The work also includes dredging, construction of a ramp for unloading and loading, as well as paving work for the port area and constructing the superstructure of the area.
"I am pleased that NYAB has been entrusted to further develop Umeå's infrastructure and thereby contribute to the region's continued growth. The project fits well with our competencies, and we see great continued growth potential in this region. The work to upgrade the port of Umeå for future needs is one of the municipality's largest investments, and we look forward to being part of that journey," says Mattias Broström, Business Area Manager, Infrastructure
Umeå is a logistical hub that connects all modes of transport and enables efficient transportation in the regional and European transport network. The port of Umeå is located 17 kilometers south of Umeå city and is one of the largest ports in northern Scandinavia. The port handles 2.6 million tons of goods annually and is strategically located at the naturally shortest route between Sweden and Finland across the northern Gulf of Bothnia. The expansion will adapt the northern quay for modern vessels and make it more efficient to handle larger volumes in the form of containers, bulk, and special cargo.
