Port of Gothenburg is not one of the top 100 biggest container ports in the world, but it plays very important role in Sweden's international trade. 


Gothenburg Port Authority describes the importance of the port to Sweden as follows: 

"Sea transport is used for 90 per cent of the Sweden's imports and exports. Around a third of foreign trade passes through the Port of Gothenburg as it is the only port in Sweden with the capacity to receive the very largest ocean-going container vessels."  
"The fact is that every day every Swedish person touch something that has passed through the Port of Gothenburg."
Busan Port is one of the biggest container ports in the world. It is the number 1 container port of South Korea and 5th biggest container port of the world by handling 17.6million TEU in 2013.
