Köping Port, UN/LOCODE SEKOP, is a Lake Mälaren port in central Sweden, located at the western end of the lake near Köping. It is a sheltered inland-waterway and Baltic-connected port rather than an open-sea gateway, making routing through the Mälaren system and the Södertälje lock a key planning consideration. The port’s cargo profile is centered on bulk and general cargo: grain is identified as a principal export, with cement, iron, steel and timber products also handled. Import flows include mineral and fuel oils, coal, pig and scrap iron, and general cargo. Our service team treats SEKOP primarily as a project, dry-bulk, liquid-bulk and conventional cargo port; container availability, equipment and sailing options must be confirmed for each shipment.
The supplied record does not confirm dedicated container-terminal facilities or regular container services. Our team verifies terminal acceptance, equipment, empty-container supply and the feeder or inland connection before offering a container quotation.
Check the vessel’s length and beam against the stated Södertälje lock dimensions of 135 m and 19.6 m, then confirm the current Lake Mälaren draught limit, reported in the supplied data as 6.8 m.
Grain, cement, iron, steel, timber products and general cargo are identified as exports or handled cargo. Imports include mineral and fuel oils, coal, pig and scrap iron, subject to terminal and regulatory acceptance.
Not before the route and operating window are confirmed. Lock passage, water levels, seasonal conditions, berth availability, vessel nomination and inland delivery constraints can materially change the schedule.
Send a cargo drawing or dimensions, total and piece weights, lifting points, centre of gravity, packing details, loading and discharge locations, required delivery date and any dangerous-goods information. Our service team then checks handling and routing feasibility.
Port code, name, coordinates, cargo profile, reported annual tonnage, stated Södertälje lock dimensions, Lake Mälaren draught and vessel example are taken from the supplied SEKOP port record. These operational parameters should be reconfirmed with the nominated terminal, ship operator or port service provider before booking.
For regulatory and navigation cross-checks, our service team uses the relevant Swedish authorities and port operator information, including malarhamnar.se, sjofartsverket.se, transportstyrelsen.se, tullverket.se and trafikverket.se.
Websites and operating conditions may change. Carrier schedules, lock availability, draught, terminal acceptance, customs requirements, equipment and inland restrictions are confirmed shipment by shipment; no unverified berth, service frequency, transit time or capacity is implied.
