Sweden and Norway. The port can provide good conditions for moving heavy, bulky cargo by<br />

rail and handles system trains for steel, paper, petroleum and cars.<br />

Skandia Harbour offers a special facility with quarantine fumigation. This gas treatment is<br />

paper etc, but also in the form of freight pallets, wooden crates or bobbins. The facility is<br />

available for special purposes on application.<br />
