Dear reader

Winter is near and this means it is time to prepare the transport equipment and material for a colder and more humid climate.

FREJA has the pleasure of sending out a newsletter in which we - among other things - focus on the latest digital offer for you as customer. We call the offer MyFREJA, and in FREJA we are proud to deliver yet another product, which enhances the transparency in the customer’s activities. MyFREJA goes hand in hand with our DNA, where credibility and innovation separates us from our competitors.

During the past years, FREJA has worked determined to develop our brand and services, so that we are able to call ourselves a full-service provider and a partner with a one-stop-shop solution. In this newsletter, you will find an article telling about how FREJA has handled over-sized cargo for Valmont A/S, and John Meldgaard Nielsen has given an interview about how we have handled a transport of 650 cm wide elements - correctly, on time and with the right solution.

In the newsletter, you may also read about an administrative development in FREJA, where we recently have chosen to merge Consulting Services and 4PL. We call this 4PL Services and it is a natural step in the development with our customers.

Finally, you may read about FREJA’s strategical plan for expansion in the East. With the purchase of Transcargo, the FREJA organization is stronger than ever before, and our new HQ in Poland sets new standards for FREJA’s reach in Eastern Europe, Southern Europe and Central Europe.

On behalf of FREJA, I thank you for your interest in our newsletter and wish you enjoy reading.

FREJA finds the solutions

As a supplier of heavy steel structures, it is not always easy to transport the cargo and Valmont SM needed a customized solution for their shipments of rotor houses. The challenges arose due to a factory relocation from Siemens, which changed the delivery destination from Denmark to Germany and FREJA came up with a solution.

This shipment was special to Valmont SM as Siemens had closed their plant at Lindø, Denmark and relocated to a new factory in Cuxhaven, Germany and since the road-restrictions for moving cargo in Germany differs from those of Denmark, it was not possible to move the cargo by road.

With a diameter of 650 cm and a combined weight of frame and cargo of 31.5 tons, the dimensions exceeded what is normally allowed on the road in Germany. In Denmark, this type of road transportation is usually less problematic and only limited to nighttime transportation with two escort vehicles. In Germany on the other hand, this kind of transport is subject to police escorts, which was rejected by the local authorities. Alternative routings were also explored, but it was not possible to obtain general transport permits in Germany.

Instead, FREJA solved this problem by coming up with a RO/RO solution via Esbjerg with a mere 6 hour sailing to Cuxhaven. To ease handling, the rotor houses were loaded on MAFI trailers, which secures a smooth loading operation on board, as well as in the ports.

The close cooperation between Valmont SM and FREJA is important because the future will bring new and bigger versions of the components. The new types will go way beyond 650 cm in diameter and be heavier on weight. Therefore, with the new types there will be less cargo per transport unit. “This will create new challenges that we look forward to solve with FREJA” Project Manager for Valmont SM, John Meldgaard Nielsen says.

FREJA introduces 4PL Services

FREJA is optimizing the organization’s products by combining Consulting and 4PL products under the name 4PL Services. With this arrangement, the customers get a product that meets the needs through a neutral service. Engagement with this new division can be widely used – from smaller projects with counseling concerning supply chain topics to a complete logistics unit that includes purchasing and coordination tasks.

"After two years with FREJA Consulting, we have developed the product by listening to our customers. The customers want more counseling and opportunities for optimization in regards to 4PL engagement. This is why the natural next step for us is to follow our customers’ behavior and tailor our organization to use these competences in a closer cooperation than we have done previously,” Kenneth Sandgaard, Head of Digital & Innovation, says.

[caption id="attachment_4456" align="alignnone" width="619"] 4PL Services has a wide range from simple consolidation potential to outsourcing of operational task planning[/caption]

As a leader of innovation concepts, Kenneth Sandgaard argues that changes in the product portfolio will bring the customer closer to FREJA: “As a FREJA customer, you get access to a range of shelf products that was previously sold as counseling. In the future, the customers will pick the service as if it were a product on the shelf in the grocery store. Our analysis motor supports multiple needs – from consolidation potential to the outsourcing of operational task planning with 3PL companies.”

FREJA expands on former Transcargo markets

With the take-over of Transcargo in the beginning of 2018, FREJA increased our presence from the four Nordic countries and China to include Poland, Ukraine and Slovakia. The sites, which have been added, have strengthened FREJAs European reach and secured ownership of even more activities. “It is beneficial to our customers when we take ownership of strategically important activities in areas, in which the customers centralize their volumes”, says Ulrik Rasmussen Managing Director Denmark.

The FREJA Group now counts more than 1,000 trucks in East Europe in addition to the four Nordic countries. Transcargo Poland acts as the natural East European transport hub with HQ in Szczecin. Just now FREJA is planning a large development in Szczecin where a new Polish HQ will be built on a 70,000 m2 large site. We will construct a top modern transport & logistics center with a high-stacking warehouse of 7,000 m2 and 3,000 m2 for cross-docking and suitable pick & pack assignments. The facilities will be ready in the beginning of 2020.

In addition to Szczecin we support our Polish activities from sites in Gielda, Lodz, Blonie, Kiev (Ukraine) and Martin (Slovakia). The level of activity supports a still strong competitiveness with “flexibility” and “customer service” as keywords in our daily work. Furthermore, we have added temperature-controlled activities to our product portfolio, and in 2018 FREJA has become market-leading to Poland and Greece on transport of enzymes, meat, dairy products and more.

Torben Mortensen, Managing Director Poland, says: “FREJAs customers will experience an increased level of activities because of this expansion, and we will stand stronger than ever on the East European markets. It is important to follow the customers’ development, and with these investments, we secure flexibility in the future as well as a punctual service”.

Contact Torben Mortensen, Managing Director Poland, to learn more about how FREJA will be able to meet your demands.

Dear reader

We are approaching the end of the year and look back on 2020 as a very special year influenced by COVID-19 and the massive worldwide consequences.

In FREJA, we have also had difficulties because of COVID-19, as the accessibility to the international markets has been challenged and has been constantly changing. We have had focus on readjusting and adapting to the situation in order for us to be able to maintain the security of supply and to service our customers in the best possible way, during the course of the pandemic.

With this newsletter, we would like to share the latest news from our world of transport and logistics. We give you insights into how you can optimize your business by doing digital integrations with FREJA, and you can learn more about our 4PL Team, which offers to analyze your supply chain.

In one of the articles, we outline how the new Danish cabotage regulations will affect the haulage in Denmark and impact the environment. We are very proud to present FREJA’s new brand film that puts focus on the FREJANs. You can watch the film in our newsletter.

Finally, we look forward to the merger between FREJA and SDK*, which will bring together about 1,300 employees and position us as an even stronger player in the international transport and logistics market in 2021.

With these words, I thank you for your cooperation in 2020, and I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Major merger in the transport and logistics industry

Recently, FREJA Transport & Logistics Holding A/S and SDK A/S, owned by USTC, announced a merger that will consolidate two large family-owned companies in the transport and logistics industry. SDK and FREJA will bring together approximately 1,300 people and carry an annual turnover of more than DKK 5 billion.

The announced merger between FREJA and SDK, which is owned by the USTC Group, will create a new force in the transport and logistics industry, strengthening the combined market position and paving the way for future growth.

Pending approval from the relevant competition authorities, SDK A/S will become a 75% shareholder in the newly merged company. The remaining 25% ownership will be held by the current majority shareholder and founder of FREJA, Jørgen Hansen, along with the management team.

Long-term commitment

Handing over a large part of his life’s work has not been an easy decision. Therefore, it was crucial for Jørgen Hansen to find a business partner that stands by the same long-term values and commitments that FREJA was founded on.

“Since I founded the company in 1985, it has been our ambition to grow the business and expand our reach. I am very proud to find our company in a situation where we will become part of the USTC Group by merging with SDK. Our family values align with the values of the Østergaard-Nielsen family, and I have full confidence that the new ownership is a perfect fit,“ says Jørgen Hansen.

Reaching more customers

The SDK Group is owned by the Østergaard-Nielsen family and has a long history in transport and logistics. The company was founded in 1876 under the name Julius Mortensen Shipping. Many years later, it became the first company that USTC owner Torben Østergaard-Nielsen acquired.

USTC is a global conglomerate with more than 2,500 employees, covering more than 100 offices in 33 countries and headquartered out of Middelfart, Denmark. In the last fiscal year, USTC reported a turnover of DKK 76 billion.

“We have been looking for a strong company with equal values to join forces with to achieve our long-term goals. This merger will create a platform for further growth, both organically and by acquisitions. When the merger is finalized, we will be better positioned to compete in the market through scale and by combining existing competencies and knowledge from our experienced and valuable employees in both FREJA and SDK’s logistic companies”, says Søren Gran Hansen, CEO of SDK.

The CEO of FREJA, Ulrik Rasmussen, also welcomes the merger and is very aware that this move puts the joint company in a great position to approach customers with an even better service, quality, and a broader portfolio.

Experienced leadership

The merger will result in changes in the company structure. All of FREJA’s current business units will merge with SDK’s logistic activities into a new entity called FREJA Transport & Logistics. As a consequence, the majority of the current SDK logistic activities will be rebranded to FREJA, carrying on the well-known and respected brand within the industry. All other SDK activities within shipping, agency, chartering, stevedore, and cruise will continue unchanged under the SDK brand and will remain under the full ownership of the USTC Group.

The current CEO of SDK A/S, Søren Gran Hansen, will continue in this role as well as taking on the role of Chairman of the Board for the new entity FREJA Transport & Logistics. The founder of FREJA, Jørgen Hansen, will join the SDK A/S Board of Directors and bring with him invaluable experience and industry expertise. Ulrik Rasmussen, who is currently the CEO of FREJA, will continue as CEO of FREJA Transport & Logistics.

FREJA Transport & Logistics will have offices in seven different countries, namely Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, Holland, and China.

The agreement is conditioned upon the approval of the relevant competition authorities.

The transaction price will not be disclosed.

New Danish cabotage regulations with large impact on the environment

Cabotage is a term used for domestic transports carried out by a means of transportation based in  another country. Cabotage may take place by all means of transportation, such as ship, plane – and in our case – truck. Cabotage has been used for many years but in 2021, new legislation is expected to be passed in Denmark. This will have significant consequences compared to the situation we have today.

Among other things, the new Danish initiatives include a requirement that drivers of international trucks will be paid according to Danish salary standards, and in case a driver is stopped at a checkpoint, he must be able to present documentation in form of an employment contract and pay-slips. Furthermore, all foreign haulers must sign up in a Danish register, and prior to any transport, the foreign hauler must list: loading and unloading places, the truck’s registration number, personal data of the driver, and the planned route. Unfortunately, we predict that this will impose large administrative burdens on the foreign haulers, and they will refrain from driving cabotage in Denmark.

That being the  case, the consequences will be that we will not be able to use foreign trucks for collective loading at a customer. In FREJA, we are used to optimizing our loads and making the best possible use of our capacity by asking one driver to collect all goods from a customer and afterward consolidating the goods at our terminals before the transport to the various export markets. This procedure saves empty driving, and we avoid an unnecessary burden on the environment.

When the new legislation becomes effective, we will see a poorer utilization of foreign trucks, more trucks will need to collect goods from the customer, and all in all, we will have to drive more kilometers. Even worse, we will ruin the efforts we have taken over many years to reduce the environmental impact from our trucks, and altogether it will affect the costs for the part of the transport which is made in Denmark.

In FREJA, we hope for a more practical solution than the one which is now outlined – for the benefit of FREJA,  our customers, and not least the environment.

Improve your business with digital integrations with FREJA

Freight buyers often spend much  time on manual tasks such as booking transports, tracking shipments, and handling invoices, but what if you could save time and resources by automizing all of these processes?

FREJA can easily help you to become more efficient. We can facilitate sessions to identify potential business processes that via integrations with our systems can improve efficiency. The potential is big, as it allows you to reduce or eliminate manual tasks.

If you are using a TA system such as Unifaun, Consignor, CargoFlux, or LogTrade, or your IT system is capable of sending and receiving shipment data and invoices in another file format, we can integrate the systems.

We have plenty of experience with customizing EDI/API solutions to fit our customers’ IT systems, and we always strive to find the best solutions. We can use the file from your IT system for booking creation, and we can deliver status files or invoices in your preferred format through EAN networks.

How fit is your supply chain?

When was the last time you measured the fitness of your supply chain?

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies have learned how important it is to have a strong and agile supply chain. We experience that there has been an increased focus on supply chain optimization and making purchases in or closer to Europe to secure the supplies of the future.

It can be a difficult and exhausting task to check how healthy and strong your company's supply chain is. FREJA's 4PL Team offers to do analyzes as an advisory board. This way, you can get a quick and standardized fitness report of your supply chain and thus make it easier for you to adapt your supply chain to external factors. This way, you ensure that you maintain your competitiveness.

By analyzing data, it is possible to map all shipments arriving at, and departing from, your locations and thereby determining the performance of your supply chain at its current state.

Do you know how many kilometers it takes to keep your company’s supply chain rolling?

Using the current state as a baseline, FREJA’s mathematical models will optimize the performance by considering different scenarios, such as the number of warehouses and their location to minimize the traveled distance.

By comparing the future scenarios to the current state it is possible to determine which improvements can be made – and surely there is money to be saved on supply chain optimizations.

Why even bother?

Doing a regular check-up of your supply chain, makes you better equipped to handle unforeseen situations. Reducing the traveled distance can minimize the carbon footprint and costs, as well as improve lead times. We, your customers, and the world would high five you for such accomplishments.

What is next?

Use your newly acquired knowledge to lower your costs. Get in touch with Kenneth Sandgaard for a quick chat about your supply chain’s fitness level.

FREJA's new brand film with focus on the FREJANS is out now

FREJA is proud to present our new brand film that puts focus on the FREJANS. At FREJA, we strive to be the most personal transport and logistics company, and we wanted to highlight this in our new brand film.

“At the beginning of the year, we started the production of the new film, and we wanted our customers, partners, and suppliers to know who we are and what we stand for. For this reason, it was only natural for us that our colleagues were the stars of the film, and that we should not use any actors. FREJA’s employees help us differentiate ourselves from the competitors, so the film should be starring the FREJANs” says FREJA's Group Business Development Director, Nicolai Præstholm.

Nicolai continues: “What you see in this film is real - it's our employees, it's our colleagues who are in daily contact with our customers, it's FREJA. Our founder, Jørgen Hansen, has always said that "transport is a people business", and it is with this starting point that the material is made".

In addition to the brand film, we also present a film that introduces our pharma & healthcare service, as well as a film that gives a humorous insight into what it is like to work at FREJA.

You can watch FREJA's new brand film here:

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.

[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.

FREJA Transport & Logistics A/S and PNO Danmark A/S have signed an agreement regarding delivery of 300 brand new trailers to be delivered to the Scandinavian market during 2017.

"For many years FREJA and PNO have had a strong and professional cooperation and we are therefore very happy that we have signed this new agreement regarding the delivery of trailers to FREJA Transport & Logistics' divisions in Sweden and Denmark," says Jacob Ørnstrand, Group CEO in PNO.

"It is FREJA's desire to operate new and modern equipment. Therefore, we replace about 20 % of the total fleet per year," says Jørgen Hansen, Group CEO and founder of FREJA.

"PNO has the largest selection of quality trailers at the market in combination with the most flexible customer adjusted rental solutions. For PNO the relations to our customers are crucial, because this gives us a knowledge of which features will create the most optimal flow and value for our customers," Jacob Ørnstrand concludes.
