Storm in Norway
You may have heard about the recent storm in Norway that caused flooding and affected many transport routes. Thankfully, the weather has improved, with no more forecasts of storms. That said, there is still maintenance work being done to repair damage on train lines and roads.
We have been proactive in securing alternative routes and transport for our customers currently in Norway.
