The Norwegian National Rail Administration (Jernbaneverket) has acquired operational responsibility for freight terminals and continues to invite competitive bidding for the operation
The purchase agreement, signed last week, with RailCombi includes the permanent loading cranes at Alnabru and all other railway infrastructure in terminals in Norway, i.e. all tracks, sleepers and signalling systems.
”Whereas terminals have previously been divided into public and private parts, everything will now become public and be managed by the Norwegian National Rail Administration. With uniform management and coordination of all areas in the terminal we will be able to facilitate greater competition for terminals,”explains Kjell Maudal, Head of Terminals at the Norwegian National Rail Administration.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Transport and Communications also requests a plan of how the competitive tendering will be implemented to ensure that the government’s intentions of achieving the most efficient competition for the operation of the terminals is achieved.
