Welcome to Stora Hamndagen

Join us behind the scenes at the Port of Uddevalla and discover a world that is usually closed to the public. During Stora Hamndagen, we open the port and invite you to a day filled with exciting experiences, activities, and opportunities to meet the people who work there.

Get up close to the impressive cranes, powerful forklifts, and giant vessels that make the port an important hub for trade and transportation. Meet the people who work in and around the port, learn more about modern shipping, and gain a unique insight into the port’s importance for business, society, and the sustainable transport solutions of the future.

Whether you are curious about shipping, looking to give your children a memorable day out, or simply want to experience something different, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
