An announcement from Svenska Cellulosa SCA AB ( ($SE:SCA.B) ) is now available.
SCA will overhaul its Roll-on/Roll-off sea transport from 1 October 2026, cutting weekly RoRo departures from Umeå, reducing vessel speeds from about 15 to 11–12 knots, and increasing load factors, a package of measures expected to reduce emissions from these vessels by roughly 40 percent. The company will also reroute flows so that vessels serving Umeå will additionally call at Piteå’s Haraholmen port to load Munksund mill production and deliver recycled fibre, replacing the rail link between Munksund and Umeå and making SCA one of Piteå port’s largest customers while only modestly reducing net volumes in Umeå due to growth from the Obbola paper mill.
The shift will move some 550,000–600,000 tonnes of Munksund-related goods annually through Piteå alongside existing sawmill volumes of about 300,000 cubic metres, while Umeå will see 300,000–400,000 fewer tonnes handled. SCA frames the new logistics structure as both an environmental measure and an economic one, as lower emissions from sea transport are expected to mitigate rising compliance costs under the EU’s tightening regulations on maritime emissions, reinforcing the company’s focus on efficient, low-carbon logistics within its forest-based value chain.
The most recent analyst rating on ($SE:SCA.B) stock is a Buy with a SEK139.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Svenska Cellulosa SCA AB stock, see the SE:SCA.B Stock Forecast page.
