Port Service

 The Port Service operates Rosenhill Seamen's Center in Gothenburg, Kaknäs Seamen's Club in Stockholm, and Johannisborg Seamen's Club in Norrköping.

These seamen's clubs are examples of commitment to fulfil the ILO Convention No. 163 ratified by Sweden, as well as the ILO Recommendation No. 173 both "concerning the seafarers' welfare at sea and in port" and drawn up by the UN labour organization ILO. The Swedish Seaman's Service participates in the International Committee on Seafarers' Welfare (ICSW).
