Choice of Harbours helps the customer The mediaeval city of Helsingborg has been a fully fledged port for at least four hundred years. By the end of the 19th century it was very well developed as a commercial port, and it has continued to grow in size right up until modern times. It now consists of four separate harbours, the most recent of which, the West Harbour, was added in 1985. The port has developed in a linear fashion, with the original harbour, now called the North Harbour - being located virtually in the city centre, and the other harbour facilities stretching southwards for some seven to eight kilometres. The newest facility was built on reclaimed land further out into the Oresund than the other harbours - hence the title of West Harbour. Each of the four harbours has its own distinct identity and is equipped to handle its own specialised type of shipping traffic. This helps to keep landside operations well dispersed, with traffic to and from the ferries, for example, being focused on a completely separate area of the port from container, general and oil cargo (in the South Harbour) and the Bulk Harbour.

The pier was enlarged and prolonged in 1816. To create a protected and calm harbour two piers were built 1833. This was the original Inner Harbour, today used as a ferry harbour. 1868 the port was enlarged and a new smaller basin was created northwest of the existing port area. 10 years later the South Harbour (not the same as the area called the South Harbour today) was built. Helsingborg grew and the railwaynet expanded. The North Harbour was built 1891 - it was the first terminal for the first ferry for trains. 10th of march 1892 the trainferry traffic between Elsinore in Denmark and Helsingborg in Sweden started with the danish paddlesteamer (sidewheeler) "Kronprinsessan Louise". 1920 the Oceanterminal was built and by 1925 the port looked different again. The long pier in the north called Parapeten was built and also the pier that separated the main entrance in two - the north and the south entrance. In 1930 the first oil-terminal was built ( on the area where the Sound Terminal is situated today). May 1955 a ferryterminal was built in the Inner Harbour. 1958 the Soundbuses started their passengertraffic between Helsingborg and Elsinore. 1962 the South Harbour for conventional cargo, grain and coal was built. 1969 the Scania terminal was inaugurated. The Sound Terminal (passenger and RoRo-traffic) was ready for use in 1975. The Dan Link train ferries started their regular traffic Helsingborg - Copenhagen in 1987. The area around Knutpunkten and the new ferry terminal for ScandLines new ferries between Helsingborg and Elsinore was completed in 1991. The port has developed in a linear fashion, with the original harbour, now called the North Harbour - being located virtually in the city centre. Port of Helsingborg (Sweden) - Helsingborgs Hamn AB
