Nov 28, 2008 (newstodate): SAS Cargo is preparing for the full implementation of IATA's e-freight in the Scandinavian markets.
SAS Cargo has operated the e-freight trade lane between Gothenburg and Hong Kong for more than a year, and the trade lane from Hong Kong to Gothenburg and Stockholm went operational during September, 2008.
SAS Cargo is now ready to reap the benefit of the experience accumulated, when the e-freight concept spreads to cover airfreight to and from Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
-In Norway, the first test shipments have already been sent, and Norway is now open for paperfree shipments on domestic, import, export and transfer routes, says Steen Otterstrom, SAS Cargo Product Manager.
-Sweden has been paperfree since 2007, and Swedish domestic trade lanes are now in focus for development.
-In Denmark the authorities still have a technical issue in relation to exports, but we will be handling import and transfers as e-freight in Denmark within a very short time, says Mr Otterstrom.
