Peab lands massive wharf construction project

Peab has secured a major contract to construct a new wharf in the Port of Oxelösund. The client, Oxelösunds Hamn, has awarded Peab the SEK 137 million project.

Oxelösunds Hamn is an ice-free deep-water port with a depth of 16.5 meters in the Baltic Sea, capable of handling the entire transport chain. Peab’s task is to build the 122-meter long ‘Wharf 8’ and dredge the harbor basin, increasing capacity and flexibility for larger vessels. Dredged materials will be stabilized and reused in the expansion.

“This technically complex marine project allows us to utilize our full civil engineering expertise while contributing to an essential public function. It’s both exciting and meaningful to future-proof Oxelösunds Hamn with local resources in this unique project setup,” said Carl Johan Söderberg, Peab’s Regional Manager.

Completion Targeted for Spring 2027

“This investment creates an additional berth, giving us the capacity needed to facilitate the steel industry’s climate transition and organic port growth. We look forward to collaborating with Peab and value their solid marine experience,” said Jens Jacobsen, Technical Manager at Oxelösunds Hamn.

It is a design-build contract. Construction will commence in June 2025 with completion scheduled for spring 2027.
