NETSS - The Pay-Off
01 Oct 2005
Phase 1 of NETSS has seen the implementation of a new route between Kotka and Gothenburg for the southern Finnish mill, and separate lines from Gothenburg to Immingham, Tilbury, and Zeebrügge established. Shipments can be transferred by cross-docking for onward distribution by rail to local distribution centres around Tilbury and Zeebrügge.
Phase 2, which is due to get under way in the autumn 2006 through spring 2007, will see product in northern Finland integrated into the system with mills at Veitsiluoto and Oulu forming a triangle trade with Gothenburg and Lübeck. The start-up of Phase 2 will also open up opportunities to ship goods to Antwerp.
