After having implemented fleet management and track & trace in the international traffics in 2011 and 2012, FREJA has now implemented full track & trace in our national distribution system. The system is not “just” the normal status reporting system, but a “real time” information about where the individual customer’s consignment is located right here and now. The unique thing is that the information is given “down to street level” with maximum 15 minutes’ delay. This means that the customer has easy access to see the location of his consignment at any time.

FREJA has invested in scanners and printers which have been successfully installed and implemented. From February 1st 2014 PDA-scanners have been connected to all FREJA distribution trucks in Denmark. The cargo is scanned upon collection, at the terminal and upon delivery. escortcity.ch

FREJA offers their customers a track & trace product with full traceability all the way, as the system is attached to FREJA’s fleet management. All information is available to the customers via WEB in real-time.

“It is a unique product which FREJA offers compared to the other products offered at the market” says Jens Henrik Olesen, Head of Department Domestic Denmark. He mentions an example: “The customer has the possibility of receiving signatures by email as soon as the cargo has been delivered. Furthermore, we can provide our customers with photo documentation in case of damages. An other unique service is our print service which means that if the customer does not have the possibility to print labels, this may be handled by FREJA’s driver at the customer.”

A Great Start to 2016 for FREJA

In FREJA we are already well under way with a new and exciting year. In this first newsletter in 2016 we would like to share some of the initiatives, which we have started in the beginning of the year.

The opening of our new office in China will undoubtedly contribute to an improvement and a further development of our Global Project and Air & Sea products. In the light of our good experiences during many years on Pharma logistics in Norway, we have great expectations to our new logistics services to the Pharma market in Denmark. Likewise, we expect much from our membership of System Alliance Europa (SAE), which now enables us to offer even better groupage solutions.

Finally, I hope that you will find the story about the changes in NSAB 2015 interesting and not least relevant.

All in all initiatives, which we expect will create better solutions and thereby increased value for you as customer and partner.

Enjoy the reading!

Best regards

NSAB 2015 – what is behind and what is new

In the beginning of November, the Nordic Association of Freight Forwarders announced a new set of general conditions – NSAB 2015.

Rightly, the latest issue should be named “The Freight Forwarders’ and their customers’ general conditions”. Actually, that is what it is – a set of rules, which has been developed and improved during the past 50 years by regular negotiations between the Nordic freight forwarders and a number of Nordic trade associations. This is rather unique on a global basis.

Compared to the predecessor from 1998, NSAB 2000, the authors have succeeded to maintain the structure and the basic and principal elements of the conditions. At the same time, they have been able to modernise and adjust the conditions, so NSAB 2015 fulfils its role as a supplement to the laws and conventions that regulate the various forms of transportation (CMR-law, air traffic and sea law, etc.)

The changes are rather modest, but include a number of very relevant clarifications of the forwarder’s as well as the customer’s responsibility and obligations. Among other issues, it includes the distribution of roles between the parties when loading or unloading; and the responsibility in connection with wrong labelling, wrong delivery as well as the new point – responsibility in connection with collection of goods. Other new points, which we have missed for a long time – regulations on electronic documents, confidentiality and information security.

The basic conditions regarding limitation of responsibility, notice of claim and time-bar as well as the forwarder’s responsibility as contract party and provider continues unchanged.

In FREJA we believe there is a good reason to congratulate the negotiators from both parties on a very successful result in their efforts to revise and renew the General Conditions of the Nordic Association of Freight Forwarders.

"We strive every year for more volumes – it is great that our goal for 2015 has been achieved. Also in 2016, we aim to further increase consignment numbers. According to the strategy paper, 4.1 million consignments shall be transported. We are sure that we will reach this goal, since the collaboration quota among partners grows organically," says Uwe Meyer, managing director of System Alliance Europe.

New Customs Code in the EU

Over the years, FREJA has built extensive experience in the field of customs clearance. We constantly try to expand our knowledge and qualifications in order to serve and advise our customers in the best way possible.

On 1 May 2016, the new EU Union Customs Code has replaced the previous code.

In the following we offer you an overview of the most important changes:

Temporary storage altered

Temporary storage has been altered from 14 days to 90 days. The change offers the possibility of storing goods in as much as 90 days. This means that certain companies may use temporary storage instead of bonded warehouse and thus avoid keeping count of customs.

Bonded warehouse type D emitted

Private bonded warehouse is no longer possible. The remaining types of bonded warehouse (A, B, C, E and F) will still be active.

Shared customs code for all EU-countries

This change will facilitate customs handling across all 28 EU-countries and offers the possibility of a central customs clearance, which will enable FREJA to operate in other EU-countries. The system is expected to be ready by 2020.

Back payment arrangements discontinued

On 1 May 2016 the back payment of processing and inward processing arrangements have been discontinue. From now on, the procedure “Suspension of processing and inward processing arrangements” must be used instead. Remember to apply for a license from the tax authorities.

Warrant for goods in bonded warehouse or temporary storage

When placing goods on bonded warehouse or temporary storage a warrant for duty / VAT must be set. As a rule, the warrant is one-to-one.

Binding information on tariffs and country of origin

The binding information has been altered from being valid for six years to being valid for only three years. Therefore, we recommend that you remember to renew the existing information.

The new Union Customs Code will gradually come into force until the end of 2020.

Multi-stop heavy lift loading

Moving modules across the world

In the beginning of April, FREJA’s Project Group chartered a coaster to pick up 3 x 305 tons modules in Helsinki - each module measuring 1094 x 509 x 920 cm.

From Helsinki the coaster went on to load three more modules - each with a weight of 171 tons and measuring 634 x 634 x 498 cm - in another port before shipping all six modules to Rotterdam.

In Rotterdam, the pieces were re-loaded as loose cargo to a container vessel bound for the Far East. The re-loading was carried out as a ship-to-ship operation using an 1800 tons floating crane.

The cargo is currently on its way to the final destination, where it will arrive in the beginning of May.

The total weight and volume of the shipment: Six modules, 1430 tons, 2137 CBM.

FREJA Consulting – enhancing your business

FREJA invests in customers’ supply chain challenges and contributes to optimisation by balancing the operational resources and market demand

It is with great pleasure that we introduce this new service to our Danish customers as an add-on service to our existing transport and logistics solutions. FREJA Consulting will assist in solving some of the process related challenges, which our customers experience in operations and supply chain management.

Connecting logistics and engineering
To be responsible for the new service from FREJA, we have engaged Kenneth Sandgaard as Business Development Manager. Kenneth holds a Master’s degree of Industrial Engineering from the University in Aalborg, Denmark. Concurrently with the studies, he has worked as a process consultant in his own company and gathered experience from the transport and logistics business e.g. from employments at Alpi Danmark and Shipco Transport.

In the past year, Kenneth also has studied at the UC Berkeley University in California as well as worked for a period in Silicon Valley. With this background, Kenneth holds the ideal combination of competences in order for the FREJA Team to provide an optimum value-adding counselling.

Closer collaboration paves the way for development
With this new investment, FREJA aims to further-develop and extend the collaboration with our existing customers. At the same time, the service is part of the package when we commence discussion with new customers. It is highly important to us that FREJA Consulting contributes with growth and profitability to the customer’s business in order to increase value in their partnership with FREJA.

We hope that our present and future customers will welcome this new initiative and let us challenge your existing Supply Chain solutions.

New partnership between Struers and FREJA

Starting from September 2016 and two years ahead FREJA will handle all import and export shipments for Struers A/S with option to one more year.

Founded in 1875, Struers A/S is one of the world's leading manufacturer of equipment, consumables and services for materialographic surface preparation and analysis of solid materials. The core business is developing, manufacturing and delivering materialographic preparation solutions. Struers A/S holds a market share of more than 40 % worldwide and is a first-grade example of Danish innovation, entrepreneurship and quality.

During the spring of 2016, Struers A/S was searching for a partner to handle their road transportation in all of Europe and the Nordic countries, import and export, cross trade in Europe and national distribution. Their shipments consist primarily of groupage, which is fully aligned with FREJA’s strategy and ambitions for growth in this business area.

Thorough preparation created the basis for partnership

FREJA and Struers A/S have not collaborated previously but the companies have been in an ongoing dialogue. As the dialogue about a future collaboration became realistic, it was time to establish and test a more solid knowledge of each other’s companies. No stones were left unturned and today we have a thoroughly prepared foundation for the future partnership.

Karsten Kjeldsen, Order Desk and Shipping Manager at Struers A/S, states that previously he perceived FREJA as only being able to cover the Nordic countries. However, FREJA was given the opportunity to prove our capabilities to handle the entire European continent in a thoroughly prepared quotation, which met all requirements for transit times, Track & Trace and lane frequencies. On certain critical destinations, the quotation even offered substantially better transit times than expected.

“I anticipate the collaboration to run smoothly and FREJA to be a professional partner, meeting our expectations, Karsten Kjeldsen concludes.

Strong presence in the Baltic States

Did you know that FREJA has daily lanes to and from the Baltic States and a dedicated team to guide you every step of the way?

Flexible Solutions

Through flexible and customer-oriented solutions, FREJA and our competent partner in the Baltic States, Itella, have established a strong connection between the Baltic States and Denmark. The organisations in both Denmark and the Baltic States can take on all transport challenges and we are excited about the future partnerships with our existing and new customers in this area. 

Team up with profound market competences

To ensure that FREJA is close with our customers and fully understand their challenges, we have engaged employees with thorough market insight to take care of this business area, in both our offices in Copenhagen and Aarhus. No challenge is too small or too big for FREJA. 

If you are interested in more information about our services and solutions in the Baltic States, please contact our team – we are dedicated to find the best solutions to your transport challenges.

Dear customer / business partner

Time does not stand still. We are approaching the end of the year and a new year will soon begin with all the opportunities, it can offer.

In 2016, FREJA has invested in additional skills for our organisation, primarily in order for you to get an optimum service and assistance in your daily work and to ensure the best quality in our solutions for you.

Scandi-Roc chooses FREJA as sole supplier

As of 1 January 2017, Scandi-Roc in Esbjerg will use FREJA Transport & Logistics as sole supplier for their total transportation activities.

This is a natural step forward in a long-lasting cooperation on the international road transport. The new agreement means that FREJA will handle Scandi-Roc’s national transports with day-to-day deliveries all over Denmark and import of container commodities from the rest of the world.

Scandi-Roc is a well-reputed Danish company, which has achieved a strong profile by focusing on niche products in concrete and natural stone, especially for the European swimming pool market. In recent years, Scandi-Roc has experienced a dynamic growth with focus on developing the product range and increasing export activities, today counting 20 European countries.

Good service and One-Stop Shopping behind the decision

For years, FREJA has managed the export for Scandi-Roc, primarily consisting of part load pallets to the European market. With the new task of import and export activities to 20 European countries, FREJA needs to have a strong partner network. This has been a main reason to the success of the cooperation in the past years.

Behind the decision to choose FREJA for the national transport activities and the import of commodities lies a wish to optimise the internal processes in Scandi-Roc and to do One-Stop Shopping, enabling Scandi-Roc to focus primarily on developing the core business.

”We have been searching for a supplier to cover our total transportation needs since we use our transport system as an active sales parameter towards the market. Our strategy, which is based on Direct End-User Delivery to the entire European market, has made it difficult to find a sole supplier, who was able to deliver a complete and satisfying product”, says Thomas Jacobsen, owner of Scandi-Roc.

”After FREJA established an office in China in the spring of 2016, it made good sense to start the negotiations for an agreement to cover our entire transportation needs. We see FREJA as a dynamic company with excellent service, IT systems and customised solutions”, Thomas Jacobsen concludes.

In FREJA, we are proud of and humble towards the trust from Scandi-Roc and we are looking forward to the extended future cooperation.

Strong clearance skills simplify and streamline the costumer’s working day

The rapid development in our customer’s demands for clearance solutions has initiated new investments in FREJA’s customs clearance departments in Denmark and Norway.

On this basis, FREJA can offer our customers flexible and efficient solutions based on strong skills within clearance. An area, which can be both complex and difficult for our customers to handle in their daily work.

Recently, a FREJA customer experienced that one of their vehicles stranded at the border to Norway. Within half an hour, FREJA had contacted the clearance authorities at the border and issued the necessary documents to allow temporary import. The customer avoided paying customs and taxes and arrived at the destination on  time, without any extra costs.

”To let FREJA manage the clearance makes us more efficient. All requests are handled professionally and the people in FREJA are committed and helpful”, states Hanne Brix Johansen, Administration Manager at Stenger & Ibsen Construction.

In FREJA Denmark the customs clearance department handles all round clearance assignments. In FREJA Norway, our customs clearance personnel is also specialised in clearance of food and pharmaceuticals. Thus, FREJA offers a wide range of clearance competences.

Our flexible clearance personnel with approx. 20 dedicated experts are at our customer’s disposal every day. They offer guidance in regards to the new clearance regulations and optimisation of the customer’s processes as well as finding solutions to minimise costs related to the clearance assignments.

Without previous warning, the Austrian authorities have introduced requirements of fulfillment of Austrian minimum wages. However, there are great doubts about the announcement - also as regards validity for international transport.

If none of the EU member countries will raise objections to this initiative, there will be consequences of which we do not have the overview yet.

We will return with further news as soon as we have information that is more specific.
