A total of six well-appointed buildings are planned, ranging from 13,000 to 35,000 square meters. Some will be up to 35 meters high with the ability to store large volumes with high surface effectiveness. When the entire facility is completed in the year 2026, the area of the total premises will amount to 145,000 square meters and approximately 600-700 people are estimated to have their workplace here, the company said in a media release.
The future facility is also close to several of the Gothenburg region's major industries and suppliers, not least within the vehicle cluster. In direct connection to the logistics park, the Nordic region's first charging and hydrogen station for heavy traffic will also be built, providing opportunities for fossil-free distribution by trucks. Since December 2021, the area also includes Halvor's link, a new road that facilitates freight transport to and from the large industries of western Hisingen island and the port of Gothenburg.
"Both the location and the conditions are perfect for achieving something extra that will benefit Gothenburg's competitiveness while also creating new jobs in the region," Mariette Hilmersson, CEO of Castellum's region west, said.
"Halvorsang logistics park has a unique location in direct proximity to the Port of Gothenburg with the Nordic region's most complete ship and inland network. The location is ideal for handling incoming goods by sea, and further distribution is easily carried out through a large range of transport solutions by rail and truck," Elvir Dzanic, CEO of the Port of Gothenburg AB, said.
