As the international freight market faces huge challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ColliCare Logistics has made extra effort to develop and offer new and profitable solutions to keep the supply chain running smoothly.
The Norwegian company is an innovative provider of all logistic services within sea freight, road transport, air freight, rail freight, third-party logistics, distribution, home delivery for e-commerce and warehousing.

Last year, it maintained a stable growth despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Business turnover accounted for about 20 percent of the increase year-on-year.
ColliCare also believes sustainability is becoming increasingly important for industries in Europe as well as globally.
Despite the various challenges the logistics company might face, ColliCare carries out its strategy by creating competitive and flexible green transportation alternatives.
They have been responding to an urgent call-to-action for companies to set emissions reduction targets, backed by a global network of UN agencies, business, and industry leaders.

The company’s next steps are developing in Poland and the United Kingdom. It is looking to have local expertise available for their customers, as it gives them a competitive edge.
“We aim to have departments in strategically important locations for logistics. The Far East has been very important for ColliCare Logistics, as our first big business cases were built on our competence within logistics between China and Europe,” said Knut Sollund CEO of the ColliCare Logistics. “
The Chinese market, for example, has always been significantly and strategically important to the global business layout of ColliCare Logistics, the company said.
Beginning in 2008, ColliCare China now provides import, export, sea freight, air freight, rail freight, road freight and warehousing services.
Ongoing capacity and equipment issues require the company as supply chain expert to further develop rail as a cost efficient, reliable and scalable mode of transport between Asia and Europe.
Faced with challenges, ColliCare embraced collaborations and integrated resources to develop fast, environmentally friendly and reliable rail-freight services connecting China and the Nordic countries, as well as Europe.
Back in 2019, the company managed to provide direct rail service between China and Norway on regular basis.
To respond to the strong market demand, departures have been increased to multiple times one week.
Since last year, the company has worked to develop more routes to the market, the current service includes the rail freight from China to Germany, Turkey, Italy and Hungary.
ColliCare rail service of China to/from Norway has grown into an immensely popular service in 2021.
ColliCare announces its very first block train from China to Norway in this October, with total 50x40’HC loaded. The ColliCare train is set for departure from Nanning to Oslo, about 25 days to transit.
Eddie Wang, managing director of ColliCare China said: “This is the right time to market for our rail service in Nordic countries. A faster and more economical train solution is to help our good customers achieve more sales when the biggest promotion season, Christmas campaign starts. We will take more cargo home in time.”
Even facing the challenges in international freight market, ColliCare Logistics is striving to explore freight solutions between Asia and Europe. The company has fulfilled its corporate vision to enhance its customers’ competitiveness through innovative and integrated logistics services of high-quality and flexible transportation mode.
