3. Head Issues
Key Items related to Intermodal Transport
Consolidation of Industries
Change of Mode of Transport
Today infrastructure (Sea-/Rail Network)
How do we get more cargo from Road to Sea/Rail
No final destination but a lot is up to us
4. European Intermodal Transport
Combined Sea, Rail, Road
Trailers, Containers, Swap Bodies
Point/Point one mode still has preference
Long distances become more and more actractive
Lack of frequency, capacity and quality is still the
biggest challenge to make a break through
Need of close cooperation between players
9. Consolidation of Industries
Production
Im-/Export distribution channels
Transport Suppliers (Network)
- Forwarders
- Shipping lines
- Ports
- Railways
- Haulage companies
10. What will change mode of transport ?
Important Parameters Door/Door Road/Sea/Rail
Market volumes and balance (point/point)
Change is depending on
Frequency
Transit time
Reliability (supply chain – weakest link)
Total supply chain costs
Flexibility/capacity/utilization
Access to information
Environmental impact (value for money?)
17. What prevent us to move from
Road to Sea/Rail ??
Only volumes for one Port of entrance Oslofjord !
Only volumes for one Ro/Ro Sea operator – minimum 4
departures per week – 600 loads roundtrip !
Import Cargo must pay “return ticket” due to lack of
export cargo !
Road infrastructure still not sufficient in Oslofjord area.
Lack of environmental focus Transit countries (SE/DK) !
Costs related to calls of Norwegian Ports !
18. What will make the change??
Focus on Needs instead of what you can get !
- Frequency, transit time and total costs
A Container solution Door/Door Norway/Continent
should be and is today 15-20% cheaper than Trailer
transport by road and at the same time much more
environmental friendly –
Why don’t we use it more ??
An alternative to Road via Denmark is using the
shipping network out of Gothenburg with high
frequent departures to Germany, Benelux and UK !

A train carrying 18 full loads generates 5.2 kgs of CO2 Emissions per per km
18 trucks carrying full loads collectively generates 15.59 kgs of CO2 Emissions per km.
Our Story included a rail journey of 2431 kms saving over 25000kgs in CO2
emissions by choosing the rail option above the road option.
