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.

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

Page 7: Norway – Benelux – Intermodal Service for Seafood NEW TRANSPORT CORRIDOR FOR FRESH SEAFOOD AND GENERAL CARGO

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.

Page 8: Norway – Benelux – Intermodal Service for Seafood NEW TRANSPORT CORRIDOR FOR FRESH SEAFOOD AND GENERAL CARGO

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

Page 9: Norway – Benelux – Intermodal Service for Seafood NEW TRANSPORT CORRIDOR FOR FRESH SEAFOOD AND GENERAL CARGO

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

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.
