Welcome to the only ice-free port in Northern Sweden
The Umeå port is kept ice-free with the help of the tugboat/icebreaker Kronö and our own mooring vessel Kermit. We are also helped by the currents in the Ume River that keep the port ice-free in a natural way even during the coldest months of winter.
For general questions about winter navigation outside the port area, we refer you to the Swedish Maritime Administration and their website.
