Jan 28, 2020 (newstodate): GPC, Gardermoen Perishables Center is fighting an uphill battle to keep up to standards in a constrained environment where seafood export volumes keep growing.
   -The situation is indeed challenging, and has been so for a rather long period, says Torgil Staalberg, GPC Managing Director.
   -We have long ago requested the allocation of land for expanding our facilities at Oslo Airport but Avinor is still considering its long-term vision, and we are forced to wait for the outcome of this process, hopefully in 2020.
   -In the meantime, we are making whatever efforts possible for finding short-turn solutions including continuous optimization of resources, processes and manpower. But we are obviously fighting an uphill battle as we are confined by space that does not match the requirements for long-term solutions.
    -With only 3,500 sq m in the existing GPC Terminal,  handling of the current volumes at about 11,000 tonnes per month is performed at high cost-levels to maintain a satisfactory quality, and this is further aggravated by the intense peak-oriented nature of the freighter services on certain weekdays, notably Tuesdays, says Mr Staalberg.
    Gardermoen Perishables Center, GPC is owned by Schenker Norway, DHL and the Norwegian freight forwarder Air Cargo Logistics.
