Jan Sunde, FREJA's Managing Director in Denmark, sends his Christmas greetings and looks back on the year that went by. 

 

Dear reader.

The year is coming to an end and we look back at 2019 as a year in which we have been affected by a number of external factors such as a trade conflict between China and the US, Brexit, and swine fever in China. The authorities have gradually deteriorated the conditions for the transport business and thereby reduced the Danish trade and industry’s ability to compete.

More or less all decisions and lines of business in FREJA have been affected by one or more of the challenges mentioned above. However, FREJA has kept a focus on delivering solid transport and logistics solutions dedicated to our customers. FREJA’s policy is orderliness as well as stable and reliable relations, and long before the business started to consider CSR, this has been a part of the everyday life in FREJA.

We value our customers and suppliers, and in FREJA we find that cooperation and co-development with our customers and business partners may best be compared to a marathon, not a sprint.

With these words, I wish to thank you for the cooperation and trust in FREJA in 2019.

On behalf of FREJA Transport & Logistics A/S, I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

FREJA in Poland –  New opportunities for you

As of January 1, 2020, Transcargo will change its name to FREJA Transport & Logistics Sp. z o.o. FREJA is excited about this investment in Poland, as the new facilities will support trade lanes to the Nordic countries and Western Europe, making it possible for us to offer more and better solutions to our customers.

In 2020, the FREJA brand will include new warehousing and logistics capabilities in Szczecin, Łódź, Błonie, Gdynia, and Tczew to ease your flow of goods via Poland. "Despite the geographical fact that Szczecin is not in the center of Poland, I fully understand why FREJA chose this place and made such a large investment. The Szczecin area is the center of Scandinavian investments in Poland, and it is in the intersection of transport corridors leading from Scandinavia to Poland and Central Europe with the East-West corridors” says Artur Wachnik, FREJA’s Regional Director in Szczecin.

Our brand new logistics center in Szczecin will be ready in May 2020. On nearly 8 hectares, we have built modern warehouses with a capacity of approximately 20.000 pallet spaces and parking lots for approximately 250 trucks. Not only is there plenty of room for our customers’ goods, but we also offer a wide range of services such as handling, packaging, labeling, storage, and other value-added services with the support of a modern WMS system.

FREJA’s Managing Director in Poland, Torben Mortensen, is excited to enhance the customer solutions in Poland: “We've always put a lot of emphasis on empathy for our customers and reliability in our offerings. Thanks to the investments made, FREJA has added a new dimension to this, because we now have more capacity, new logistics solutions, and a digital platform that supports businesses with goods from Poland to the Western part of Europe and the Nordics".

In Poland, we will continue to offer trustworthy, committed, and flexible solutions. We run a professional business and we always try to live up to the eight FREJA values; Flexibility, Result-orientation, Engagement, Just in time, Attention, Network, Innovation, and Trust. It is important for FREJA to emphasize that we will keep these values with the new expansion in Poland. Ulrik Rasmussen, Group CEO of FREJA, says: “FREJA is known for its high level of business ethics, transparency, and undertaking activities related to corporate social responsibility. These values, in combination with entrepreneurship, ingenuity, and commitment guarantee flexible and trouble-free cooperation, mutual development and market success for both our customers and FREJA".

We are excited to develop the FREJA brand and we look forward to the upcoming year. If you want to know more about our new location in Poland, feel free to contact Torben Mortensen on tor@freja.com or +45 3697 0109 or find our contact information here.

FREJA tests "intelligent gloves"

Innovation plays an important role at FREJA. It is through innovative thinking that we can deliver the best solutions to our customers and stand out from the competitors. For this reason, we work actively with innovation at FREJA across the organization.

The latest project we are working on is “intelligent gloves” at FREJA’s logistics center in Taastrup, Denmark, and the logistics center in Fjeldbo, Norway. Here we are in the process of testing ProGlove scanners to optimize the workflows in the logistics centers.

The ProGlove scanner is a lightweight scanner that provides confirmatory and corrective feedback, instantly. The scanner is placed on top of a glove, making it easy and quick to scan, while allowing employees to use their hands freely, which helps reduce the time it takes to complete a single process. "The glove makes the workflow easier for our colleagues, and it changes the way we work, as they do not have to put the scanner away every time boxes are handled," says Thomas Mikkelsen, IT WMS Manager at FREJA.

So far, people are positive about the "intelligent gloves", but the technology is just one of many opportunities to raise the level of logistics in FREJA. In addition to this, several other support activities also enable smarter workflows.

At FREJA, we find it important to engage our employees as they contribute to the development of the company. That is why we also encourage them to take part in FREJA's innovation. “It is exciting to be allowed to test new products that can make our work easier for us. I am glad that I can help develop FREJA, and it is great to be part of a company that actively works with innovation, both to provide better solutions to our customers, but also with the employee in mind” Says Christian Aurdal, Technical Manager Logistics in FREJA.

To learn more about how we work with innovation in FREJA, please contact FREJA's Head of Digital & Innovation, Kenneth Sandgaard, at ksa@freja.com or +45 9670 5342.

Incoterms® 2020 - What does it mean for you?

Since 1936, the International Chamber of Commerce, ICC, has issued and continuously updated the well-known and recognized rules of international trade: Incoterms.

The latest issue – the 8^th edition – is Incoterms® 2020, which will come into force on January 1^st, 2020.

Compared to Incoterms® 2010, the only change of the actual clauses is that DAT (Delivered at Terminal) is now replaced by DPU (Deliver at Place Unloaded). The purpose of DPU is the same as it was with DAT: the vendor must be able to accept transport risk and costs until the cargo has been unloaded at a specifically agreed place.

A number of the existing rules have been changed. The most important of these are:

• CIP:  the minimum requirement to the cargo insurance coverage, which the vendor is required to take out to cover the buyers transport risk, has been raised from being Institute Cargo Clauses C (ICC C) to being ICC A.
• FCA: a new option concerning the use of onboard bill of lading for sea freight.
• FCA, DAP, DPU, and DDP: it has been clarified that these rules may also be used in connection with the delivery by the use of the vendor’s own means of transport.

However, the biggest news in Incoterms® 2020 is that the description of each rule has undertaken a very comprehensive restructure and rephrasing, so they now appear in a modern and easily accessible version.

Incoterms® 2020 regulates the relationship between vendor and buyer

• General obligations
• Delivery
• Transfer of risk
• Carriage
• Insurance
• Delivery and transportation documents
• Export/import clearance
• Checking/packaging/marking
• Allocation of costs
• Notices

In addition to the actual transport, we as forwarding agents can assist vendor and buyer with a long list of other obligations, which comes with Incoterms® 2020. This might be customs clearance, documentation, and making an insurance policy on ICC A terms.

If you have questions about Incoterms® 2020, you are more than welcome to contact your local FREJAn or FREJA’s Leif Pedersen or Lone Reinau Harrestrup.

The illustration shows the distribution between vendor and buyer of transport relevant elements in Incoterms.

When it comes to insurance, there is only insurance obligation when CIP is used. However, FREJA recommends that goods insurance also be taken out when using other clauses.

FREJA launches MyFREJA v. 1.1

FREJA's popular Business Intelligence platform, MyFREJA, has been updated and FREJA is proud to introduce MyFREJA v. 1.1.

With MyFREJA v. 1.1, it is now possible to do separate analyzes on your subcontractors and customers. The new platform gives you a quick overview of which trading partners define your supply chain, both based on activity and cost. This will identify any Pareto principles, and it will be clear where the greatest effect for optimization can be found.

About the new update, FREJA's Head of Digital & Innovation, Kenneth Sandgaard says: “With this solution, our customers can quickly form an overview of their supplies and easily identify cost-to-serve insights. Our customers can thus help themselves to a greater analytical understanding of their supply chain, and we at FREJA 4PL Services can more easily help fulfill the potential for an improved operation of the entire chain.

If you want to know more about how MyFREJA can be used to optimize your business, go to our website to read more, or contact Kenneth Sandgaard directly at ksa@freja.com or +45 9670 5360.

December 9, 2019, we had a MyFREJA v. 1.1 event in our office in Stilling, Denmark. Take a look at the video to see the highlights from the event. 

FREJA in China has been growing steadily since its establishment, and therefore a bigger office was needed. On December 24th, 2019, FREJA Shanghai moved to a new location in Shanghai, which is quite convenient for our customers and partners to visit. The new office is much bigger and it offers more office rooms and meeting facilities than the previous one.

“We are constantly growing, and we are happy that the business in China is going so well that we have had to move into a bigger and better location. Our employees thrive in the new premises, and we will continue to work hard to provide the best transport and logistics solutions to our customers” says FREJA’s General Manager in China, Leo Hu.

Our colleagues in China are excited about the new location and celebrated the opening of the new office with small FREJA cakes and some bubbles. After moving into the new location, FREJAns from our Guangzhou office came to Shanghai for the annual meeting, and they were also thrilled to see the new office.

If you want to learn more about your possibilities with FREJA in China, please contact Leo Hu for more information.

[caption id="attachment_11735" align="aligncenter" width="800"] The scrubbers are used in the cleaning of sulphur from the exhaust gases.[/caption]

FREJA in Finland doesn’t always transport to or from Finland. At the end of 2019, FREJA in Finland started a project which includes combined transports of scrubbers from Poland to a shipyard in Turkey.

Scrubbers (Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems, EGCS) are used to remove harmful components, such as sulphur oxides (SOx) from the exhaust gasses of ship engines.

“This time the challenge was not the weight but the dimensions of the scrubbers”, Project Director Tom Lunabba says.

[caption id="attachment_11733" align="aligncenter" width="800"] FREJA Finland transported seven scrubbers to Turkey.[/caption]

During the project, seven scrubbers, dimensions 950 x 650 x 450 cm each, were transported by road and sea. The scrubbers' journey was about three weeks. The first two days they were transported by road as a special transport to the port of Gdynia. From there, the journey continued as sea freight to the shipyard in Turkey.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted a sulphur content limit for emissions.  From the 1st of January 2020, the maximum sulphur content of marine fuels was reduced to 0.5% (down from 3.5%) globally. Two years ago, the IMO also agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping by at least 50% by 2050.

Finland is one of the biggest players in the scrubber system markets, among Sweden, Norway, and the USA.

If you want to know more or have any questions, please feel free to contact FREJA's Project Director, Tom Lunabba.

[caption id="attachment_11811" align="alignnone" width="2048"] FREJA's Managing Director in Norway, Kjell-Arne Eloranta (left), and Nordic Supply Chain Manager in B. Braun, Freddy Wilhelm Hansen.[/caption]

When the task at hand is to deliver vital products with perfect precision, quality is not just a word. It is a requirement.

When the German pharmaceutical company B. Braun needed a logistics provider with the same high-quality demands as themselves, the logical choice was FREJA. A choice nobody has regretted.

Braun is Germany's largest non-listed company and one of the largest manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and equipment for the Norwegian healthcare system. The family-owned company, with over 70,000 employees, manufactures and offers products across the health spectrum, something they have done for generations. Today, however, people live much longer than before, and in addition to this, the demands of the healthcare system are entirely different from what they were a few years ago. This requires world-class logistics.

Changed needs

Freddy Wilhelm Hansen, the Nordic Supply Chain Manager in B. Braun, puts the collaboration with FREJA in the right context.

– The age-related center of gravity is changing. Diseases that were previously terminal, can now be kept in check for much longer, prolonging life. Today, more and more people want home treatment. This is possible, but it affects our industry and how we need to organize our services.

In line with the change in patient needs, the manufacturers also had to think «outside the box».

Hansen adds:

– For us to grow and be proactive, we need logistics partners who can think a little untraditionally and be able to change in accordance with the market. That's why we approached FREJA and explained what we needed now and how we envisioned our needs for the future.

No room for error

[caption id="attachment_11819" align="alignright" width="300"] Kjell-Arne Eloranta, FREJA's Managing Director in Norway[/caption]

It is hard to imagine that the need for health services will decrease, in either the short or the long term. Essential medicines must be transported to where people are treated. And in this area, there is absolutely no room for error at all.

– The transport systems we use for medicines must be of the highest quality. Thermo transport and GDP i.e. documented temperature control for products that cannot withstand temperature changes, as well as continuous training and regular revision of services to the agreed standards, are obvious requirements. A drug exposed to frost may still look perfectly normal, but particles may have formed that can have serious consequences. This is why we need a logistics partner who has a firm grasp of their business, Hansen emphasizes.

It soon became clear that in FREJA he had found a partner with a clear understanding of the task and with many of the same values.

– What has been a mantra for us in collaboration with B. Braun is to have a high standard of quality in everything we do, says Kjell-Arne Eloranta, Managing Director of FREJA in Norway.

One partner - all the way

Handling hundreds of thousands of products from manufacturer to patient is no easy task. Good technical solutions are a prerequisite.

[caption id="attachment_11812" align="alignright" width="300"] FREJA's Head of Logistics in Norway, Joar Bjørndal, explains that nothing is left to chance at FREJA's warehouse at Fjeldbo.[/caption]

– Take scissors as an example, seeing as there are over a thousand different varieties. Here at FREJA, we have validated systems that allow us to sort the thousands of scissors B. Braun produces from each other. We’ve invested heavily in IT systems to avoid any picking mistakes.

Another point is that we take full responsibility for the products from the time of collection in Germany until delivery to the customer. Having one partner who assumes that responsibility for quality all the way from production site to delivery reduces the margin of error and sources of error, says Eloranta. Medicines are transported directly by FREJA from the manufacturer in Germany to FREJA's warehouse in Norway and Denmark, while medical equipment is now moved from a Scandinavian central warehouse in Sweden to FREJA in Copenhagen, Denmark. From there, daily shipments are sent to all of Scandinavia.

These are goods that, for several reasons, must not go astray. This is where FREJA's Logistics Manager, Joar Bjørndal, comes in. His top priority is that the quality of the pharma-warehouse at Fjeldbo is of the highest degree. And with quality, comes security.

– Security here is paramount. We have very important products, but where the monetary value cannot be compared with the health-related value a high delivery precision entails. It will paralyze the market altogether if our business goes down, and therefore we have good security systems to ensure that will never happen. So when I talk about safety, I’m referring to not only goods getting lost, but first and foremost that the systems are up and running so that the quality is maintained, says Bjørndal.

Good culture is crucial

[caption id="attachment_11814" align="alignright" width="300"] Kjell-Arne Eloranta (left) and Geir Kluge Heiermo, Sales and Marketing Director at FREJA, are very pleased with the collaboration with B. Braun[/caption]

A good culture must exist to ensure that the extreme demands of quality and safety are met. This is best achieved through a common understanding of what good values are. This is something B. Braun and FREJA thoroughly agree on.

– The company I work for has been family owned since 1839. They represent excellent values. When looking for partners, two things are crucial: Long-term perspective and values. I look for management-employee communication, how they treat me as a customer, what kind of management style and foundation they have. Then, of course, other things come into play, including being willing to invest in future sustainable development. I think Richard Branson said that «only those companies that focus on sustainable development before they think about money will survive.» This is something I believe in. The results often come as a consequence of the conscious value-based choices you make. That is why we are here at FREJA, Hansen concludes.

Kjell-Arne Eloranta cares very much about the culture of the company he runs.

– We have an expression we often use in FREJA; customer empathy. It's about understanding the customer's expectations. We must understand the consequences of any errors. We must embrace that at every level, especially when it comes to vital medicines. Failure to do so can be fateful, he states.

[caption id="attachment_11815" align="alignright" width="179"] The concept of quality lives throughout the organization[/caption]

The spreading of good practices

FREJA's pharma transport and the warehouse at Fjeldbo are in many ways an industrial spearhead. But the concept of quality exists throughout the organization and is more or less automatically transferred to all processes in their logistic centers.

– The level of quality our pharmaceutical business is dependent on delivering, is also adapted to other segments in our operation. Customers with products that do not necessarily have equally stringent requirements as B. Braun has, will, therefore, benefit from already incorporated quality processes. If we make mistakes, we go through the specific case, we conduct a situation-triggered training exercise and learn from it. It costs to deliver quality, but mistakes cost even more. Reputation-, customer- and internal wear can hardly be measured in money. That's why we have the right people with the right attitudes. It’s well worth it, says Eloranta.

Dear reader.

The year 2020 has started well, and on behalf of FREJA, I am pleased to welcome you to the first newsletter this year. FREJA's largest venture in 2020 will be the opening of a new logistics center in Szczecin in Poland in May.

FREJA welcomes new Managing Director in Poland

On February 1^st this year, FREJA welcomed Tomasz Cegielski, the new Managing Director in Poland. Tomasz has taken over from Torben Mortensen, who instead continues as Chairman of the board in FREJA in Poland, as well as Regional Director South Denmark.

On joining FREJA, Tomasz says: “I am incredibly pleased to have been given this opportunity at FREJA. I am proud to work in a company like FREJA, as they are one of the largest in the Nordic countries, and now also has several locations in my home country, Poland. I am truly excited to see what the future at FREJA holds".

Tomasz brings valuable competencies to FREJA, which he has gained from previous positions in Raben Logistics, DB Schenker, and most recently Geis. On top of that, he has a Master of Economics and he has studied Management & Marketing at the Academy of Poznan.

“FREJA is pleased to have Tomasz on board, as he can contribute with relevant experience and knowledge from the industry. Together, we will focus on continuing the growth of FREJA in Poland, and we look forward to the opening of our brand new logistics center in Szczecin”, says Torben Mortensen.

FREJA's new logistics center opens in May. On nearly 8 hectares, we have built modern warehouses with a capacity of approximately 20,000 pallet spaces and parking lots for approximately 250 trucks. Not only will there be plenty of room for our customers' goods, but we will also be able to offer a wide range of services such as handling, packaging, labeling, storage, and other value-added services, which will be supported by a modern WMS system.

Special products require flexible transport solutions

HauCon A/S's journey started in 1988 in a small workshop in Aarhus. Today, HauCon A/S is one of the leading distributors of special products and technical solutions for the construction industry and element factories in the Nordic countries, as they have delivered products to large, well-known projects such as the Øresund Bridge, AARhus, and the Opera House in Copenhagen.

HauCon A/S strives to be the preferred partner in the construction industry by providing innovative solutions. To maintain their position in the market and increase growth, all parts of their supply chain must be carefully considered. For HauCon A/S, their partners must match their values and meet their high demands for service. FREJA lives up to these demands, which is why we were chosen as HauCon A/S’s transportation partner.

“FREJA is a stable partner with deliveries every day. Our start-up process has been very good, and we have received training in their online system. Our contact person at FREJA, Kasper Hansen, has supported us with relevant feedback and good solutions, and we have been extremely pleased with this. Furthermore, FREJA is flexible, and they deliver on time, which is important in our industry and the reason why we chose them”, says Sandra Knudsen, Intern Seller/Purchaser at HauCon A/S.

In the construction industry, changes can occur from day to day, which is why it is important with a partner who can keep promises and deliver the goods, even if changes occur.

“For FREJA it has always been important to adapt to our customer’s needs and do our utmost to get the goods delivered no matter what. All partners need to work focused and dedicated for a collaboration to be successful, and FREJA has appreciated the clear communication and close dialogue there has been with HauCon A/S from day one", FREJA’s Sales Representative, Kasper Hansen, explains.

FREJA handles your Air & Sea freight

Did you know that FREJA  offers transport solutions by air and sea? We have done so for many years within the group, and in Denmark since January 2017, where we established our Air & Sea department as more and more of our clients were asking for services reaching beyond our well-known trucking services.

Get to know the team

Meet Hongyi Niu, Global Project Director, Torben Stenshøj, Airfreight Manager, and Mikkel Lübker Andersen, Ocean Freight Manager, who are running the Air & Sea department. Hongyi was amongst one of the people who helped establish FREJA’s Air & Sea department. He was hired by FREJA’s founder, Jørgen Hansen, back in 2015 and has since then also helped establish the Global Forwarding Services in FREJA. Torben started in FREJA in January 2017 and has been in this department since the very beginning. Torben started his career  back in 1981 and he has gained a lot of knowledge and experience in his 39 years of working within this industry. Mikkel joined the team in 2018, and with the competencies, he has gained from being in this industry since 2002, FREJA formed a great team to approach the market as a full-service provider.

Why choose FREJA on Air & Sea?

Transportation by air and sea offers you alternative  solutions for transports that might not be smart by road. With our experience and knowledge, we can help assess if this way of transportation could be the right choice for your company.

FREJA offers both LCL and FCL movements of goods to and from any destination in the world, and we are fully licensed with IATA, which allows us to prepare the relevant air freight transport documents, no matter where your shipments need to go to. We can also assist you with X-trade services if you need to move cargo directly from your supplier to your customer, as we are a member of the World Cargo Alliance (WCA). WCA is the largest network of independent forwarding companies with nearly 7300 offices in 190 countries in 843 cities. The membership allows us to connect a well-known agent to handle your shipment, as moving shipments from one place to another without a trusted agent present, is challenging due to the complexity and regulations on this area.

We are ready to help you with your needs. Contact Hongyi, Torben, or Mikkel anytime if you want to know more about what we can do for you, or go to our website to learn more.
