DACHSER Norway opens branch in Kristiansand

The logistics provider is expanding its presence in the Norwegian market to provide logistics services to customers in southern and western Norway and give them access to EU markets.

DACHSER Norway opens branch in Kristiansand.

DACHSER is continuing its growth in the Norwegian market. In February 2024, the logistics provider will open a branch in Kristiansand, in the south of Norway. DACHSER is thus taking a further step in the strategic development of its Norwegian country organization. The new branch will be an important hub to strengthen DACHSER's network in Norway, but also in the entire Nordic region as well as in Europe. DACHSER will then offer its customers in the region customized logistics and comprehensive import and export services. In doing so, DACHSER will open up new opportunities for them to access the EU markets in Europe more easily. Until now, DACHSER Norway has been represented by a sales office in Kristiansand.

"The south of Norway is an important center for trade and industry. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers daily departures to Europe, short lead times and a reliable network. Integrated and homogeneous processes and systems are the basis for the quality and stability that distinguishes DACHSER in the logistics market. With this standard, we support our customers in Kristiansand and southern Norway to be successful in the national and international market," says Magnus Asbjørnsen, Sales Manager at DACHSER in Kristiansand.

Strengthened management structure

In line with the positive development of DACHSER Norway, DACHSER is also strengthening its local management structure, with General Manager Armend Krasniqi appointed Country Manager. Krasniqi joined DACHSER in 2019 and has been instrumental in strengthening DACHSER's market position in Norway. Results over the past few years show steady development of the country organization, with the 2022 annual results showing a 16 percent increase in revenue compared to 2021.

"I look forward to continuing the growth path we have set in Norway. We will continue to identify growth opportunities and optimize supply chains for our customers," says Krasniqi.

DACHSER Norway was founded in 2005 and has since grown steadily with DACHSER's comprehensive overland network in Europe. In addition to the new branch office in Kristiansand, DACHSER has a branch office in Vinterbro near Oslo. The combination of local knowledge and global presence plays a key role in offering customers tailored solutions for their specific needs in the region.

Lockdown in Shanghai: impact on operational activities

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions in China, there is an impact on international air and sea freight traffic as well as the domestic transport sector.

Overview

  • Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Shanghai, the city will be locked down starting 5 a.m. Monday, March 28, 2022 in order to contain the spread of the pandemic.
  • A lockdown will be carried out in two phases: From March 28 until April 1, restrictions will apply to Pudong, the eastern side of Shanghai, and from April 1 to April 5, the same restrictions will apply to Puxi, the western side of the city.
  • During the lockdown period, measures will be taken, including massive COVID-19 testing, suspension of public transport, shutdown of stores, halting production and business activities, and employees will only be allowed to work from home.

Impact on logistics

  • Air and sea ports remain open and operational.
  • Shortage of manpower remains an issue in all sectors due to strict quarantine regulations, especially for freight-related personnel, who have to present a 48-hours negative test report when entering highways, warehouses and ports.
  • For air freight, the lockdown impacts the PVG gateway for both import and export. The import Gateway is operational and flights continue to land at the airport. Export flights out of PVG are restricted, the export Gateway is closed and handover is suspended. DACHSER is working on planning new flight schedules through alternative airports. The restrictions are expected to last for 7-14 days. Land transport is restricted as well.
  • For sea freight, DACHSER has not yet received any carrier announcements about vessel delays or cancellations. Cargo arrived at CFS within the Pudong area is not affected, but shipments could be delayed due to potential vessel changes or insufficient cargo for consolidation. FCL trucks are allowed to enter Pudong and the port area with a 48-hours negative test report and an electronic Equipment Interchange Receipt (EIR). LTL trucking is yet to have any development.
  • Trucking between Shanghai and neighbouring cities is restricted to drivers who can present a 48-hours negative test report. Delays in pickups and deliveries are expected.
  • Customs operations are currently reported normal with no interruption.
  • DACHSER's locations in Shanghai, including the downtown office and the PVG Airport office, have implemented a work-from-home policy since March 21, while the Huaqiao Warehouse remains open but loading and pickup is restricted. You can reach your local contact through the usual communication channels.

Local representatives at DACHSER will be happy to provide information about shipments and possible alternatives.
