Nordic Logistics Centre

Major investments are being made to further develop Umea as the natural transport and logistics hub of northern Scandinavia. The concept is called Nordic Logistic Center and is based on the cooperation between three strong partners: NLC Terminal, NLC Park and Umea Harbor. A new freight yard will be built strategically located outside the centre of Umea. This means that a large area in the city will be released from the current freight yard. This will create opportunities to complement the city centre with new buildings which heightens the attractiveness of the city. The purpose of the new freight yard is to increase the capacity for cargo, increase the cargo capacity on the route Umea Harbor - Umea and to increase road safety. In connection to the freight yard the municipal company NLC Park will develop a 40 ha large area for logistics operations.
