The municipally-owned Port of Gothenburg (Swedish: Göteborgs hamn) is the largest port in the Nordic countries,[2] with over 11,000 ship visits per year from over 140 destinations worldwide. As the only Swedish port with the capacity to cope with the very largest modern, ocean-going container ships, Gothenburg handles nearly 30% of the country's foreign trade, comprising 39 million tonnes of freight per year.[3]
