Chapter 1 · The country Sweden

Hur fraktas stora mängder järnmalm vidare från gruvområdet kring Kiruna och Malmberget?

How are large quantities of iron ore transported onward from the Kiruna and Malmberget mining area?

  1. ✓Med godståg på järnvägenBy freight trains on the railway
  2. 2Med lastbilar hela vägen till kustenBy trucks all the way to the coast
  3. 3Med transportband hela vägen till kustenBy conveyor belt all the way to the coast
  4. 4Med pråmar längs älvarna till havetBy barges down the rivers to the sea

Why this option does not fit

Med lastbilar hela vägen till kusten

The railway carries these large ore loads, rather than trucks alone.

Med transportband hela vägen till kusten

Conveyor belts can be used in mining, but these long-distance ore shipments travel by train.

Med pråmar längs älvarna till havet

The rivers are not the route for these loads; the ore travels by rail.
