The Finance Bill for 2018 decided to introduce parking limitations and control of trucks on lay-bys in Denmark. Specifically this means, that any truck may park maximum 25 hours on the 90 lay-bys along the motorways in Denmark from the 1st of July 2018.

The new legislation implies extra costs for FREJA as the long weekend rest of 45 hours no longer can be held on the existing 90 lay-bys along the motorways.

Since FREJA has not yet received all relevant information regarding the new parking limitations, we do not know the financial consequences. We therefore need to underline that from the 1st of July we will introduce a surcharge to cover direct and indirect costs.

If you have any questions, please contact your usual contact person in FREJA.

In connection with this year's central wage settlement, there is a violation of the negotiations between The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprises and Labour Organizations. The settlement therefore goes to mediation, which is carried out on the 30th and 31st of March, with a deadline that expires at 24.00 on Sunday the 31st. of March.

If there is no agreement within the deadline, or in the event of no mediation in overtime, it will result in strikes starting Monday 1st of April.

FREJA is not directly affected as a part by a possible strike, but the general cargo terminals in Eastern Norway, where we reload our trucks, will be partially affected.

Although we are already re-planning transports to reduce the inconveniences this will cause, a strike will in practice lead to delays.

We hope that the parties will come to an agreement during the mediation and will keep you informed as soon as news arrives related to this.

Any inquiries and questions can be directed to your FREJA contact person.

February 1, 2020, we also have the pleasure of welcoming Tomasz Cegielski as new Managing Director in Poland.
