A Port as Karlshamn is an important part of the infrastructure which is vital for the development of industry, trade and logistics. Not only for the region, but also from a national and international perspective. Operation and development of a port of this scale is based on sustainability and determination. This culture is firmly grounded in Karlshamn. Operation of a Port is expensive, with big investments, high maintenance costs and low margins. It's not for the one who looks for fast profits.
Half a century ago, far-sighted politicians in Karlshamn decided to move the Port activities from the centre of the city to an area outside called Stilleryd. It was a big decision with considerable economic consequences . But it was a decision that enabled the port to develop as a logistics node in modern time. Many Municipalites took similar decisions much later at much higher costs.
