By boat

For many centuries, Trollhättan has made excellent use of the Göta Älv, the river which runs through the centre and links Lake Vänern with the west coast. The port in Trollhättan is well situated in one of western Sweden’s largest industrial zones, Stallbacka. A large new freight terminal was opened near the port area in 1998, capable of offering transport and logistics solutions for companies in the region – where rail, road, air and waterway transports can be included.
