Sponsoring
Uddevalla Hamnterminal is proud to be involved in sponsoring local associations and non-profit organizations. We have chosen to focus on sponsoring organizations with a focus on children and young people and non-profit organizations connected to marine life.
Current sponsorships
Projekt Fjordtorsk/Stiftelsen Byfjordens Framtid
Project Fjordtorsk/Stiftelsen Byfjordens Framtid has led the initiative to restore the raft that is now oxygenating Byfjorden. We have supported them with various tasks throughout the early stages of the project, including the launching of the raft itself, as shown in the picture below.
We are also sponsoring the annual operation of the oxygenating raft. Every day, 192,000 cubic meters of water are pumped through the raft’s pumps, from depths of three to almost forty meters. This water rises quickly, bringing the oxygen-poor water with it. By winter, the entire water mass of Byfjorden will have circulated. Then, the fresh water from the North Sea can flow into the fjord without being hindered by the salt-rich, sulfurous, and thus toxic high-density water that currently exists around fifteen meters below the surface.
This is a fantastic project that we are proud to be a part of, and we look forward to follow its progress.

Swedish Sea Rescue Society SSRS
We continuously support the Swedish Sea Rescue Society SSRS, and as in previous years, we have chosen to replace Christmas gifts to our customers with a contribution to the Swedish Sea Rescue Society.
They are a non-profit organization, responsible for 70 percent of all sea rescue operations in Sweden. With no governmental funding, ours and others support is needed to help them save lives at sea.


Natur & Miljöböckerna
We want to contribute to local sustainable community development. Therefore we are one of the companies that contribute to the Natur och Miljlöböckerna (English: Nature & Environment books) being published to children in Uddevalla municipality during the school years 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The Nature & Environment books is a fact-checked, inspiring and, above all, up-to-date learning tool adapted for middle school. The curriculum focuses on sustainable development as well as nature and environmental knowledge. The Nature & Environment books has been distributed to over 5 million students in Sweden since 1993.
There is a lot of discussion about threats to the environment today. The Nature & the Environment books would rather talk about
possibilities. To give the rising generation knowledge about our nature and environment at an early stage, we believe is an unbeatable way to create the conditions for a sustainable development. In this year's books, the Global Goals are included, linked both to exercises and lesson suggestions.
