Recent moves2 records

Broad incumbents

• Stockholms Hamnar (Port of Stockholm): Swedish municipal port operator managing Stockholm, Nynäshamn, Kapellskär and Stockholm Norvik. A broad incumbent peer as a publicly-owned Swedish port group with ferry and cruise services comparable to Ystad Hamn Logistik's ferry model.
• Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP): Larger Swedish–Danish port operator running Copenhagen, Malmö and other terminals across the Øresund region. A broader incumbent peer since it competes for the same Skåne cargo base but operates at significantly larger scale with diversified traffic.

Direct peers

• Port of Helsingborg: Major ferry and ro-ro port in Skåne serving the Helsingborg–Helsingør route. Comparable to Ystad in regional setting and ferry-centric operations, though materially larger in throughput.
• Karlshamns Hamn: Small-to-mid-sized Swedish municipal port on the Baltic coast focusing on bulk, forest products and some ferry traffic. Comparable to Ystad in scale and municipal ownership characteristics.
• Port of Trelleborg: Swedish municipal port in southern Skåne that competes directly with Ystad for Sweden–Germany and Sweden–Poland ferry traffic. It is the most direct comparable given shared geography, ferry-focused service mix, and municipal ownership profile.
• Port of Visby: Swedish ferry port serving Gotland with passenger and ro-ro cargo services. Comparable to Ystad as a ferry-centric municipal port with similar scale and traffic profile, albeit with a single dominant ferry operator.

Regional players

• Port of Oskarshamn: Municipal port in Småland on the Baltic coast focused on forest products and bulk. Comparable as a small Swedish municipal port but primarily a bulk/forest operator rather than ferry-focused like Ystad.
• Aarhus Havn: Danish regional port serving cargo and ferry traffic on the Kattegat. Comparable as a smaller-to-mid-sized northern European port with mixed ferry and cargo exposure, but operating in Denmark rather than Sweden.
• Kalmar Hamn: Municipal port in southeastern Sweden handling cargo and limited ferry operations. Comparable in ownership structure and scale, but serves a different Swedish region than Ystad's Skåne focus.

Emerging players

• NordPort Logistics & Ferry Terminal: Northern Swedish port operator providing ferry and logistics services in the Gulf of Bothnia region. Comparable as an emerging ferry-and-logistics port operator in Sweden, though focused on a different geographic corridor than Ystad.
