The terminals are strategically located near population centres, but, most importantly, with convenient connections to ports, rail routes and major roads. There is a short stop at the terminal for immediate reloading. Terminals are often the first establishment at a new logistics location.

What happens in a terminal?

A terminal is primarily designed for the transshipment of cargo and goods that are received and delivered on the same day. Goods arrive there from manufacturers and distributors in Sweden and elsewhere in the world, by sea, air, rail and road. Some are container terminals that are especially well equipped for transferring cargo from one mode of transport to another.

Terminals are generally operated by one of the major third-party logistics players and several hundred customers may be served by a single terminal.

Future-proofed terminals

Our ambition is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, which, among other things, places requirements on the construction process when a new terminal is built. New buildings are always environmentally certified in accordance with BREEAM-SE and the NollCO2 certification. Our internal requirement is that at least the Very Good level is always achieved. We strive for 100% of Catena’s lettable area to be environmentally certified and for the entire property portfolio to be net positive in terms of biodiversity.
