It’s an exciting time to be in Gothenburg, which is a growing hub for new business. We see only more innovation occurring at our warehouse as customers look to improve supply chain efficiency and bring agility into their operations.

Bonded storage saves paying double
A bonded warehouse is a secure facility where imported dutiable goods are stored without paying duties or taxes, until the point they are released for distribution. At Gothenburg, there’s an important additional advantage to using bonded storage.
Since many organisations have their own centralised warehouse for European distribution, it is often the first point of entry into the EU for goods. However, when those goods are re-exported to the non-EU territories of Norway and the UK, for example, the organisation can avoid paying duties twice.
Since Gothenburg is strategically located for distribution to these and other non-EU destinations, customers can use our bonded warehouse as the first point of entry into the EU, store their cargo, and ship it to non-EU territories with only a single charge.
That’s a strong cost saving opportunity for customers, particularly in fast moving lifestyle and retail industries, and Maersk can even work with other bonded warehouses in the supply chain to streamline fulfilment.
Fresh thinking for the future
Maersk is already seeing a great deal of industrial, technical and automotive development taking place in Stockholm and Gothenburg, and much of it will require new ways of working.
As customers increasingly assess their supply chains to find different ways of storing and moving cargo; converting CAPEX into OPEX by using third party facilities; or increasing the focus on green transportation – particularly important in Sweden – our Gothenburg team is ready to support and be part of these conversations with customers. We’re in a prime location with a strong future, and a large part of that future may well in delivering added value services.
As part of an end-to-end service, Maersk at Gothenburg can even configure products closer to the customer, before shipping to the Nordics.
Goods depart to Norway from Gothenburg for a customer who will not face a double charge on taxes, thanks to using our bonded warehouse as the first point of entry into Europe.
