UN/LOCODE SEGVX

Gavle Port Overview

Gavle, also known as Gefle, is a sea port on Sweden’s Gulf of Bothnia coast, serving the city of Gävle and industrial areas in central Sweden. The port is classified here as a year-round Baltic seaport with a mixed cargo profile rather than a dedicated container hub. Its cargo base includes forest products, steel, ore, oil, scrap metal, china clay and containers. The supplied port record places the port at 60.6865000° N, 17.2000000° E and indicates that icebreaker assistance may be relevant during the January–March winter period. For freight planning, our service team treats SEGVX as a regional gateway where vessel suitability, seasonal navigation, inland collection windows and cargo-specific handling must be confirmed before booking.

Port / city	GAVLE / Gävle, Sweden
Geographic area	Baltic–Bothnian Sea region
Coordinates	60.6865000° N, 17.2000000° E
Reported cargo volume	Approximately 4,650,000 tonnes per year in the supplied port record
Recorded vessel limits	Maximum length 195 m; maximum draught 9.8 m; maximum deadweight 53,021 t

Key Highlights

Mixed-cargo regional gateway: suitable planning scope covers containers, forest cargo, metals, minerals, liquid bulk and project-related shipments.
Winter navigation matters: Baltic ice conditions can affect vessel rotation, pilotage, feeder connections and inland delivery appointments; January–March requires additional schedule control.
Vessel compatibility is material: the supplied record reports a maximum draught of 9.8 m and maximum vessel length of 195 m; final acceptance remains subject to berth, fairway, tide, cargo and authority confirmation.
Swedish central hinterland access: Gävle offers a practical maritime interface for cargo moving to or from central Sweden, with the final road or rail plan requiring shipment-specific verification.
Commodity handling varies: bulk, steel, forest products and containers require different equipment, packaging, storage and documentation instructions.

Facilities & Services

Container handlingContainerized cargo can be planned through the port’s reported container activity. Our team confirms the actual terminal, equipment availability, receiving window, cut-off and carrier release instructions for each booking.

Breakbulk and dry bulkThe cargo mix supports planning for forest products, steel, ore, scrap metal and china clay. Stowage, lifting points, moisture protection and storage requirements must be agreed before cargo delivery.

Liquid bulkOil and other liquid cargoes require cargo-specific terminal acceptance, tank or connection arrangements, safety documentation and applicable dangerous-goods controls.

Storage and yardsAvailability of covered storage, open yard space, reefer power and special cargo areas is shipment-dependent. We obtain written confirmation before positioning cargo or arranging pre-carriage.

Road and rail interfaceRoad collection is normally planned around Swedish driving restrictions, vehicle dimensions and terminal appointment rules. Rail feasibility, wagon supply and siding access must be checked for the specific cargo.

Inspection and release coordinationOur service team coordinates customs status, terminal release, possible inspection instructions and delivery documentation; customs or terminal decisions remain outside the forwarder’s control.

Routes & Logistics Timing

International cargo is commonly planned through a European or Baltic maritime connection, with the exact transshipment point, carrier rotation and equipment availability confirmed at quotation or booking stage.
For Asia–Sweden cargo, the practical routing may involve a mainline European gateway followed by a regional feeder or inland leg. A direct service, sailing frequency and transit time must not be assumed for SEGVX.
For intra-European and Baltic cargo, short-sea options may be evaluated alongside routing through another Swedish or Northern European gateway, depending on origin, cargo type and schedule.
Total door-to-door time is influenced by winter ice conditions, transshipment connection, port receiving windows, customs clearance, trucking availability, rail capacity and delivery appointment constraints.
Our team provides a shipment-specific schedule rather than a fixed port promise; all transit estimates remain subject to carrier confirmation and operational changes.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Central Swedish marketGävle functions as a maritime access point for central Swedish manufacturing, construction, forestry and distribution flows. Final delivery distance and mode should be priced from the actual consignee postcode.

Forest productsSawn timber, pulp, paper and related products may require dry storage, weather protection, moisture control and careful securing against shifting or compression damage.

Metals and mineralsSteel, ore and scrap metal require verified cargo weight, lifting or tipping arrangements, contamination controls and suitable securing or bulk-handling instructions.

Containers and industrial cargoContainerized machinery, components and general cargo should be checked for payload, lashing, over-dimension status, reefer requirements and terminal acceptance before dispatch.

Liquid and regulated cargoOil and other regulated products require classification, packaging or tank details, safety data and advance acceptance from the relevant operator.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: booking cut-off, VGM deadline, terminal receiving window and customs release deadline are not interchangeable. Our team obtains the applicable dates from the carrier and terminal for each sailing.
Dangerous goods: provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, flash point where applicable, SDS and packing certificate before acceptance. Late or inaccurate declarations can cause refusal, rebooking or additional handling.
Customs and inspection: commercial invoice, packing list, transport document data, origin information and customs instructions must be consistent. Cargo selected for inspection may incur delay and should not be assigned an unrealistic delivery appointment.
Inland collection: confirm gross weight, dimensions, axle restrictions, loading method, crane or forklift requirements, winter access conditions and consignee opening hours before dispatching a vehicle.

Vessel acceptance, draught, ice restrictions, terminal rules, customs procedures and charges can change. Our service team verifies the current instruction set before cargo handover.

Shipping Tips

Request an early quotation for January–March movements and include a realistic buffer for ice-related schedule variation and possible connection changes.
Send cargo dimensions, gross weight, center of gravity, lifting points, packaging photos and stacking restrictions when quoting steel, machinery, timber or other non-standard cargo.
For container shipments, confirm whether the cargo is standard, overweight, out-of-gauge, reefer or dangerous goods before equipment is allocated; do not rely only on the booking commodity description.
Prepare customs and dangerous-goods documents before the terminal cut-off, and align the invoice, packing list, transport document and declaration data to prevent avoidable holds.
Compare SEGVX with an alternative Swedish or Northern European gateway when the final consignee is remote, the cargo is time-critical or winter reliability is more important than port proximity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can our team promise a fixed transit time through Gavle?: No. Transit depends on the confirmed carrier routing, transshipment connection, winter conditions, customs status and inland appointment. We issue a shipment-specific estimate and update it when the carrier confirms the schedule.
Is SEGVX suitable only for container cargo?: No. The supplied port profile identifies containers as well as forest products, steel, ore, oil, scrap metal and china clay. The handling method, storage arrangement and acceptance process vary by cargo and must be checked in advance.
What information is needed for a heavy or oversized shipment?: Provide packed length, width, height, gross weight, center of gravity, lifting points, packing method, loading equipment and final delivery address. Our team then checks vessel, terminal, road and possible rail constraints.
Does winter ice automatically close the port?: The supplied profile describes year-round operation with icebreaker assistance during January–March. This does not remove schedule risk: ice conditions, vessel class, authority instructions and carrier decisions can still affect calls and connections.
When should dangerous-goods information be submitted?: Submit the complete classification and supporting documents before booking confirmation and well before the applicable terminal cut-off. Acceptance is subject to carrier, terminal and regulatory review.

Data Sources & Provenance

Port code, name, country, city, coordinates, cargo profile and reported vessel parameters are transcribed from the SEGVX port record supplied for this page. The reported annual cargo volume, vessel-call proportions and maximum vessel figures should be treated as record-level reference data and revalidated before being used for a contractual, engineering or voyage decision.
