Oct 17, 2018 (newstodate): The Norwegian cargo handling company Roadfeeders is in a last-ditch fight as an imminent bankruptcy is drawing near.
In a message yesterday, the company said that the export shipments would be accepted only until noon, and the last import shipments handled by the evening of October 16.
Among airline customers of Roadfeeders are Norwegian, KLM/AF Cargo, Cargolux, Japan Air Lines, Singapore Airlines, Thai Cargo, British Airways, Turkish Airlines, United and Finnair.
With 134 employees, Roadfeeders opened a new 8,500 sq m cargo terminal at Oslo Airport in July 2016, providing both cooling and freezer services to serve the Norwegian seafood export industries.
-We have been negotiating with various partners to find a solution, but without success. The end of Roadfeeders is near, and bankruptcy will probably be announced later today, says Lene Mellum, Roadfeeders Managing Director and member of the family-led ownership group.
-We are permitted to continue operations until bankruptcy has been announced, but we are operating at minimum levels to secure that no shipments remain at our warehouse. We are doing all we can to secure the flow of Norwegian imports and exports under these circumstances.
-We are in good dialogue with all parties, including Avinor, and hope a solution with new owners will be found, says Ms Mellum.
