OBJECTIVES
• Clarify the terms for a new intermodal transport corridor from North Norway to Benelux, based on existing relevant carriers and efficient feeding systems.
• Based on analysis of potential volumes both ways, encourage the logistic companies to develop a new service in collaboration with ship and rail operators.
• Identify a commercial operator who is willing to establish a fast ro-ro service between Kristiansand Seaport and Eemshaven or Zeebrugge Seaports.
• Assist in developing a Marco Polo application.
ACTIVITIES
1. Feeder transport
2. Rail transport
3. Analysis of potential volumes (market analysis)
4. Seaport facilities
5. Ship operations
FEEDER TRANSPORT
Seafood and other types of cargo must be transported to major rail connections by truck and boat/ferries.
Major rail connections are:
ARE:
Narvik – Gällivare – ? - Oslo
Nordlandsbanen:
Bodø – Fauske - Mo i Rana – Mosjøen – Trondheim – Otta – Oslo
CHALLANGES IN FEEDER TRANSPORT
• Feeder transport are facing difficulties and high cost due to geographical constraints, ferry tariffs, road capacity and pricing.
• Trucks from door to door are the preferred transport mode, due to high flexibility and price.
• Truck distance (shuttle to rail hub) slightly more than 10 hrs represents a disadvantage compared to driving the whole distance.
• Switch from one transport mode to another represents increased costs.
RAIL TRANSPORT
• Improved service for seafood by train from North Norway to Oslo and Kristiansand
• Currently there are three trains daily from Bodø and more than one train per day from Narvik (ARE)
• Cargo is consolidated in Oslo before it goes to Kristiansand
• Daily ship from Kristiansand to Benelux• Return cargo from the continent via Kristiansand to
major distribution centres in Norway
RAIL TRANSPORT(limitations)
• Train capacity: 26 trailers per train (semi trailer or containers)
• Need for improvements at Nordlandsbanen in relation to track length at certain connections, rail junctions etc.
• No cargo train can leave Oslo between 06:30 and 08:30 in the morning, due to commuter traffic.

Representative sample
• Compared with the total export volume to those contries, the sample represents:
– 42,3% of fresh seafood– 9,57% of preserved seafood
The inquiry indicates that the respondents in question are well represented in terms of volume (tonnes) of fresh seafood

NB: High score indicates willingness to try the new service
CONCLUSION
• The service must be competitive compared with existing services, in particular with regard to price and transport time.
• The inquiry indicates that price is more sensitive than transport time.
• The inquiry indicates also that NBISS has a potential to reduce transport time in relation to existing services.
