We would like to thank employees, customers and our collaboration partners for their hard work, patience, and dedication in making our new terminal fully operational. Most of the hurdles of getting everything in place, and realizing the true potential of the new building, is now behind us.
Our first unit has been finalized at our new location, and will leave with SK 907 to Newark today at 10:45!
Fittingly, it was built by our longtime employee Ambrosi with over 20 years of experience. We dare to claim that he has built more 161 PMC that anyone in the world!

Thanks to all who attended the Future of Norwegian Seafood Air Logistics conference, and thank you for all the kind words and encouragement on our new terminal!
We are a sponsor of this years Future of Norwegian Seafood Air Logistics! It will be held September 19th in Quality Airport Hotel Gardemoen.
Our General Manager Torgil Stålberg will hold a short presentation of our new warehouse and attend the panel for “Infrastructure & Innovative Technology“. Also on this panel will be Jon Tallberg, the Marketing Director of Oslo Airport City.
Our Operational Manager Tommy Hagen will attend a visit to the construction site of the new warehouse between 09:00 and 10:00 on September 20th.
The logistics center will cover a minimum of 20.000m2 and be located in the new Oslo Airport City district. It will be completed in 2023. The terminal will hold a high environmental standard, with an almost unlimited capacity to export fresh Norwegian seafood by air and land to the world. The terminal is a joint project between OAC and Gardermoen Perishable Center AS.
The storage capacity will be around 2700 metric tonnes of seafood at any given time. This equates to 3600 euro pallets and 130 ready-built air cargo pallets.
The production capacity is around 25 air cargo pallets per hour.
The unloading and loading capacity will be approximately 30 full semi-trailers per hour. The warehouse will have 40 loading docks to handle euro pallets and up to 6 additional bays for air cargo pallets.
-With our new logistics center, we are creating a hub for Norwegian seafood export. Our customers will be offered a complete product for delivering seafood targeted for both overseas and European markets. We will be a neutral option for all airlines, freight forwarders, exporters, transporters, and other parties within the seafood segment.
The location just outside of the central area at Oslo Airport gives us better possibilities to offer services beyond solely air cargo. There will be excellent access from the main roads as well as to the airport. We will be given a significant opportunity to expand our services within logistics and storage.
The warehouse will be state-of-the-art and be able to handle seafood efficiently with high quality of service. The building will represent a new standard, with an environmental strategy and BREEAM certification*. Quality and sustainability will both be central in our offer to customers.
The capacity for unloading, loading, storage, and production will be significantly increased. We look forward to showing our new building when it is ready in mid-2023, says managing director Torgil Stålberg.
*BREEAM is the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for masterplanning projects, infrastructure and buildings.
