Ports of Sweden is an industry and employers' organisation comprising 50 port companies and over 4,000 employees. Practically all Sweden's port companies are members. As an industry organisation, Ports of Sweden represents also around 15 port administrations through co-operation agreements.
Collective agreements are signed with the Swedish Transport Workers' Union, Ledarna, the Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers and the Salaried Employees' Union HTF.
The aim of the Association Ports of Sweden is to defend the interests of ports, to establish cooperation between ports and to support maritime transport and shipping interests in general.
The association is a mouthpiece for the ports when it comes to transport policy, the interests of ports, their customers and the community which they serve. We also cooperate with port organisations in the other Nordic countries and we are members of the European Seaports Organization (ESPO) and of the Federation of European Private Port Terminals (FEPORT) .
