Contracting volumes are expected to be higher in coming years as preparatory work deferred by track renewals resumes; full-year 2026 contracting volumes are expected to be lower.
Snow clearance assignment scheduled to commence in mid-November; focus remains on securing long-term transport assignments and external work, particularly in Skelleftehamn.
