Swedish and foreign shipowners who are investing in ships powered by, for example, liquefied natural gas (LNG), rotor sails, methanol or batteries qualify for transition financing. Financing also encompasses supporting infrastructure for shipping such as natural gas or biogas storage, freight flow optimization, shipping lane development or digitalized port traffic management.

Sweden has the longest coastline in the EU and is one of the world’s most foreign trade dependent countries. Almost 90 percent of Sweden’s exports and imports are transported by sea.

Examples of areas that can be financed

• Swedish and international shipowners
• Infrastructure and alternative fuels

Sweden has all of the prerequisites in place to be a modern export nation, particularly when it comes to sustainable value chains and products. There are substantial driving forces to become an even smarter export nation and sustainable Swedish solutions can help reduce global climate emissions.
