Location: Sweden

Sollefteå is a locality in Sweden, positioned in the Västernorrland County, but it is not widely recognized for its marine port facilities. Instead, Sollefteå is more commonly known for being a picturesque inland town situated along the Ångermanälven River. Given this, it's important to correct the premise; Sollefteå does not have a marine port as it is not located on the coast.

For maritime activities in Västernorrland County, the closest major ports would generally be found in coastal cities like Sundsvall, Härnösand, and Örnsköldsvik. These cities have well-established ports serving both commercial and recreational marine activities.

If you were to look for specifications and descriptions of one of these actual marine ports, here's a brief overview of the Port of Sundsvall, which would be more relevant for maritime and shipping activities in the region:
