Port of Stenungsund

Stenungsund’s waterfront is closely linked to the surrounding chemical industry, with specialised marine facilities handling liquid and gaseous products. The port area on Askeröfjorden supports the movement of feedstocks and finished materials for industrial plants nearby.

Borealis and PetroPort are among the operators identified by the maritime authority. PetroPort, owned by Borealis and Perstorp, handles chemical products, petroleum products and renewable fuels. Its listed cargoes include ethane, ethylene, rapeseed oil and biodiesel made from rapeseed.

The maritime approach runs from Hätteberget towards Stenungsund through a regulated pilotage area. The authority distinguishes individual piers and applies separate provisions to gas tankers, including tug escort arrangements, reflecting the specialised shipping associated with the industrial waterfront.
