Fotevik station opened in 1904 on the Hvellinge-Skanör- Falsterbo railway, providing the transportation technology that would eventually modernise the medieval twin Cities of Skanör and Falsterbo (merged by decree in the 18th century as Skanör med Falsterbo - "Skanör with Falsterbo"), at the time having a few hundred remaining inhabitants, in steady decline since their population peak in the 16th century at about 15,000.
Fotevik & Omloppsbana (“Orbit” in Swedish) was formed in 1979 by the great-grandson of the Skanör station master, and today provides contemporary technology internal haulage services for the Robertson & Co. group of companies.
Fotevik & Omloppsbana aims to become a leading provider of intra-LEO transfer and Northern Europe from-orbit drop, with sea and surface pickup, and delivery services.
