AUG 16, 2005 (newstodate): During H1, a significant increase in Norway's export of fresh salmon to the Far Eastern markets was driven by the Chinese market.
-For our own part, the increase in total volumes was about 12 percent, while exports to the Chinese market grew by 20-25 percent, says Knut Dreier, DHL Danzas Quality Cargo managing director.
-Some Far Eastern markets are stagnating in growth, including Japan that remains the single largest market but shows little development, he says.
Last year, Korean Air Cargo started its twice-weekly freighter service from Oslo to Seoul, and Aeroflot has been operating its twice-weekly service to Japan since May, 2002.
From September this year, Lufthansa Cargo, Japan Airlines Cargo will route a bi-weekly cargo flight from Frankfurt to Nagoya, Japan, via Oslo instead of its current routing via Gothenburg.
-There is excess freighter capacity out of Norway, and rates have fallen correspondingly. But as we strive to retain our own margins regardless of actual rate levels, this is of little significance to our company. On the other hand we are always competing against low-rate traffic out of the continental airports, and much cargo is trucked out of Norway to Amsterdam, which is our real competitor, says Mr Dreier.
