The Gothenburg Port Authority has announced that it has appointed Göran Eriksson as its new CEO.
In February this year, the Gothenburg Port Authority announced that current CEO, Elvir Dzanic, would leave his role.
Eriksson will replace Elvir Dzanic and will assume his new role on 7 August.
Currently, Eriksson serves as the CEO of the GAC Group’s company in India.
He has been employed in multiple positions within the GAC Group since 2012 and possesses extensive experience in international competition within the maritime and logistics sectors, reported the Port of Gothenburg.
“We are pleased to announce that the board has decided to appoint Göran Eriksson as the new CEO of the Gothenburg Port Authority,” said Lars Johansson, Chairman of the Board for the Gothenburg Port Authority.
“He is highly motivated to undertake the task of strengthening and developing the port internationally, particularly regarding the transition to new fuels in the energy conversion,” Johansson added.

“I feel honoured to have gained the board’s confidence to lead the ongoing development of the Port of Gothenburg as CEO,” said Eriksson.
“We are facing significant challenges, particularly the green transition and future energy supply.
“I am enthusiastic about the task and firmly believe that continued collaboration among all stakeholders in the business community is essential for a rapid transition to sustainable and efficient transportation systems,” Eriksson added.
This announcement comes almost three months after the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Gothenburg signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their partnership and collaboration in multiple domains.
