Port Schwedt

The Schwedt Port is an inland port in the Brandenburg city of Schwedt/Oder. It is connected to the Oder via the Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthaler Waterway.

The Schwedt Port was put into operation in October 2001 after two years of construction, at a cost of 27 million €. It was established as a dead-end port and branches off from the Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthaler Waterway at kilometer 125.6. It has direct connections to Berlin and, via Stettin, to the Baltic Sea. In March 2011, the Leipa paper mill conducted a test run under the supervision of the Technical University of Berlin. During this run, 1,250 tons of paper rolls were transported directly, without any stops, from the Schwedt Port over the East and North Seas to Great Britain using a coastal motor vessel. Since 2011, there has been a connection via a track to the Angermünde-Schwedt railway. The paper mill is located immediately south of the port.
