Port Overview
Trelleborg Port, UN/LOCODE SETRE, is a southern Swedish seaport in Trelleborg, Sweden, positioned for short-sea RoRo and RoPax traffic between Sweden and continental Europe. Located approximately 85 km from the German border, it is the largest RoRo port in Scandinavia according to the supplied port master data and functions as a major ferry gateway for Swedish import and export flows. The port operates regular RoPax traffic across four transport corridors and is designed around rapid transfer between vessel, road and rail. Its reported estate covers 1,150,000 m² and includes ferry berths, general-cargo quays, an oil quay, lay-up quays and intermodal terminals. Our service team treats SETRE primarily as a scheduled ferry and RoRo gateway rather than assuming conventional container-terminal handling; cargo acceptance, equipment type, sailing allocation and cutoff times must therefore be confirmed with the relevant carrier or terminal before booking.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
- Ferry and RoRo berths: The supplied port data records eight ferry berths for regular traffic, including seven with double RoRo ramps. Ramp compatibility, deck height, cargo dimensions and securing requirements must be checked before acceptance.
- Rail interface: Two of the reported ferry berths are directly rail-linked, and the port has two intermodal terminals. Rail routing is subject to train path, wagon, terminal-slot and cargo-profile confirmation.
- General cargo: Two quays are identified for general cargo. Breakbulk, machinery and project cargo should be assessed for lifting, lashing, quay access, dimensions and temporary storage requirements.
- Liquid cargo: One oil quay is reported in the supplied data. Product compatibility, tank-truck or pipeline arrangements, safety documentation and terminal acceptance must be confirmed directly for each shipment.
- Yard and staging: Ferry operations normally depend on pre-arrival staging and controlled gate processes. Our team coordinates vehicle, trailer or rolling-cargo instructions against the booked sailing rather than treating the site as an unrestricted container yard.
Routes & Transit Times
- Primary trade orientation: Sweden–continental Europe RoPax and RoRo movements are the core routing pattern. The exact destination, sailing frequency, vessel acceptance and cargo cutoff depend on the selected operator and service day.
- Road connection: SETRE is commonly used as a ferry gateway for trucks and unaccompanied trailers moving between Swedish origins or destinations and continental European road networks.
- Rail connection: Rail may be considered for suitable intermodal units or rail-linked ferry flows, but availability depends on wagon configuration, terminal capacity, train paths and the final inland destination.
- Transit-time control: Actual door-to-door time is affected by booking confirmation, terminal cutoff, check-in queues, weather, vessel rotation, border or customs formalities, driver hours and inland appointment capacity. Our team quotes transit windows only after validating the complete route.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Swedish hinterland: The port serves southern Sweden, with road and rail planning extending beyond Trelleborg according to final delivery location, equipment availability and inland capacity.
- Continental distribution: The short-sea position supports flows to and from Germany and onward European destinations, especially where a ferry-based road or rail solution is more suitable than a deep-sea container routing.
- Typical cargo: Common RoRo profiles include trucks, trailers, accompanied vehicle units, rolling machinery and other self-propelled or towable cargo. General cargo may include machinery, industrial components and project consignments subject to acceptance.
- Special cargo: Dangerous goods, oversized units, temperature-sensitive cargo and non-standard rolling stock require advance review of vessel, terminal, lashing, segregation and inland transport constraints.
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cutoff: Ferry check-in and cargo acceptance deadlines are service-specific and can be earlier than the vessel’s advertised departure. Our team confirms the booking reference, terminal gate, driver instructions and final acceptance time in writing.
- Dangerous goods: Submit the correct IMDG information for sea transport and ADR or RID information for the inland leg, as applicable. UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, quantities, packing certificate and emergency contacts must be consistent across documents.
- Customs and security: For non-Union goods or cargo moving under a special customs procedure, customs status, transit documents, commercial invoice, packing list and any required safety or security filings must be checked before dispatch. EU free-circulation status does not remove carrier documentation requirements.
- Vehicle and cargo data: Provide accurate total length, height, width, weight, axle load, registration details, trailer type and lashing points. Incorrect dimensions can cause rebooking, surcharge exposure or refusal at the ramp.
Shipping Tips
- Send the complete cargo profile at quotation stage, including whether the unit is accompanied, unaccompanied, self-propelled, towable, non-running or oversized. This allows our service team to match the correct RoRo or intermodal product.
- Reserve space early around weekends, public holidays, seasonal peaks and planned maintenance periods. Keep a feasible backup sailing or alternative ferry gateway when the delivery appointment is critical.
- Prepare commercial, customs, dangerous-goods and vehicle documents before the terminal cutoff; ensure weights and dimensions are identical on the booking, transport order and cargo manifest.
- For urgent or irregular cargo, ask our team to compare ferry RoRo, accompanied trucking, unaccompanied trailer and rail-linked options. The best solution depends on cargo profile, terminal acceptance, inland destination and total lead time.

Is SETRE mainly a container port?
SETRE is primarily a RoRo and RoPax gateway. The supplied data also identifies general-cargo quays and intermodal terminals, but our team does not assume standard container-terminal services, equipment or storage arrangements without confirming the specific terminal and carrier.
Can I ship an unaccompanied trailer through Trelleborg?
Unaccompanied trailer movements may be possible on suitable ferry services, subject to carrier acceptance, trailer condition, dimensions, weight, booking space, terminal instructions and the receiving-side delivery arrangement. These details should be confirmed before the trailer is dispatched.
What information is needed for a RoRo quotation?
Provide cargo type, running or non-running status, total dimensions, gross weight, axle data where relevant, registration or unit number, dangerous-goods status, accompanied or unaccompanied status, origin, destination and preferred delivery date.
Are fixed transit times available from SETRE?
Not as a general port guarantee. Transit time depends on the booked sailing, terminal cutoff, check-in, vessel rotation, weather, customs status and inland transport. Our service team provides a route-specific estimate after validating the carrier schedule and delivery plan.
