Logistics & freight forwarding
For fresh fruit, vegetables, live seafood and other sensitive product groups, logistics is part of the quality. We manage the entire chain, from producer to customer.
Services
We cooperate with Bring and other carriers for demanding product groups. Our import department handles air freight and container shipments to customers throughout Norway.
Road, sea and air, tailored to the product group's needs and cold chain requirements.
We handle documentation, customs clearance and delivery under Incoterms.
Our export department organises air freight for fresh and live products.
Containers in and out, from European producers or to overseas customers.
Unbroken cold chain for fresh, live and frozen products.
Warehousing of selected products for short delivery times in Norway.
Why it matters
Transport must be fast and reliable to avoid quality loss. This is especially important for fresh fruit, vegetables and other sensitive goods that cannot tolerate delays. A one-day delay can mean a rejected consignment at the recipient - which is costly for everyone in the chain.
We manage logistics and customs clearance ourselves, ensuring full traceability and the ability to react quickly if a shipment needs to be redirected. This gives customers confidence that goods will arrive in the agreed condition, and that we will give proactive notice - not after the damage is done.
For fresh and live products such as seafood and crab, we coordinate air freight shipments directly from the Norwegian coast to recipients in Europe or Asia. The entire chain - from purchase and packing, via air freight and customs clearance, to delivery at the recipient - is managed from Bergen. This gives shorter response times and fewer potential failures.
Container shipments are used for dry goods, frozen products and other product groups where delivery time is secondary. We coordinate full containers and groupage consignments, ensuring all documents - bills of lading, certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates and veterinary attestations where required - are in order before departure.
The cold chain is only as strong as its weakest link. We select transport partners who have documented procedures for temperature monitoring, and we require temperature logs on receipt for goods we are responsible for.
Through decades of import and export we have built a network of freight forwarders, agents and carriers in Europe and beyond. That network makes it possible to solve assignments quickly, even in markets and routes we do not serve daily.
