Aug 06, 2018 (newstodate): The industry is eagerly waiting for news on the project for a new cargo terminal at Oslo Airport, dedicated to handling of seafood exports.
-We expect to be able to announce the future operator of the new seafood terminal soon. We had hoped to be in place before Easter, but a bit more time is needed, says Martin Langaas, Avinor Director Traffic Development & Cargo, speaking at the Schenker Seafood Logistics seminar at Oslo in April 2018.
Four months later, Avinor has still not been able to announce a future operator of the terminal.
At the seminar, Mr Langaas also confirmed that construction works will start from early in 2019, and the terminal will be commissioned by Q4, 2020.
If this time frame will hold, it is high time for the launch of tender processes to land contracts for the various elements in the building program.
Avinor has contracted the Norwegian financial services provider Pareto Securities as consultant to the project, and has held a series of talks together with Avinor Pareto with potential investors.
So far, no news has, however, emerged on commitments from investors needed to realize the vision.
However, this news curtail may soon change.
Writing on his LinkedIn page, Mr Langaas says: "At Oslo Airport, we are looking forward to commerce on the second half of 2018. We promise a lineup of exiting news from the largest airfreight market in Northern Europe."
The planned 10,016 sq m terminal will have the capacity of handling two freighters or eight wide-body passenger aircraft per hour, corresponding to some 200 tonnes per hour. The facility will accommodate the storage of 500 ULDs and have 27 trucking docks.
