Entry into the ferry business
Nordfrost plans new ferry connection Wilhelmshaven - Scandinavia
Nordfrost, a service provider for frozen food logistics, would like to realize a ferry connection between Wilhelmshaven and Scandinavia. The company, headquartered in Schortens, Friesland, also wants to further strengthen the attractiveness of the port of Wilhelmshaven.
Saving road kilometers with ferry crossing
For trucks, trailers and containers as well as for buses, cars and motorhomes, the ferry from Wilhelmshaven is intended to provide an economically viable transport link to Scandinavia - for destinations to and from southern Germany and western Europe, it enables major savings in road kilometers compared to other northern German ports.
Capacity for 60 articulated lorries planned
The ferry's stay in the port should take four hours each way and the crossing should take less than 20 hours, making three departures per week in each direction possible with one ferry. Each route should be able to accommodate 60 articulated trucks, or more vehicles with correspondingly smaller units. Nordfrost will use the north-west and south-west quays in the inner port of Wilhelmshaven, which it owns, for the project.
Higher freight volumes can be realized quickly
According to company boss Horst Bartels, Nordfrost should quickly succeed in expanding existing long-standing business relationships, for example with Norwegian fish producers, and generating additional freight volumes from Scandinavia in a targeted manner. "Acquiring Scandinavian transports from German and European suppliers is not the biggest challenge for us either," says Bartels.
