The recession hit Green Cargo very hard in 2009. Rail transport volumes fell by 24%, which contributed to the company's EUR 21.5 million loss after financial items. Several group action programmes resulted in a profit in the second half of the year, however. Green Cargo invested EUR 89.5 million in new and modernised locomotives, wagons and storerooms in the period under review. New or extended transport contracts were signed with Outokumpu Stainless, Trätag, Akademibokhandeln, Berling Media, Svenska Shell, Nestlé Sverige, Berntsson Brands, Domaine Wines and Volvo Logistics.
