January 26, 2015 [Port of Gothenburg] - Half of Sweden's crude oil is imported via the Port of Gothenburg. It is then processed into petrol, diesel and a range of other energy products at the three refineries.
Oil and energy products slumped by six per cent in 2014. The year began with low refinery margins and a weak storage market but towards the end flows had increased thanks to improved refinery margins and a stronger storage market in the wake of plummeting oil prices. 19.2 million tonnes of oil and energy products were handled during 2014, which is 6% decrease compared to 20.4 tonnes handeled in 2013.
