As global uncertainty grows, questions arise closer to home — how secure is the port, really? The operations are governed by three security levels, with level 1 being the standard and currently in effect.
The port’s security work is based on clear procedures and continuous follow-up. The security requirements are regulated by both Swedish legislation and the international ISPS Code, which applies to ships and ports where people and goods are transported.
Daily security measures include perimeter protection, camera surveillance, and patrols by security companies. Security efforts also involve maritime protection, aimed at safeguarding operations from external threats. At the same time, security is not only about guarding against outside risks — just as important is ensuring that everyone working in or visiting the port can do so under safe and secure conditions.
To ensure that the work functions effectively, there is also close cooperation with ShoreLink, the operator responsible for daily port operations.
