PostNord wins distribution deal with Danish shipping firm

Danish-Swedish postal operator PostNord has secured a distribution deal with Danish freight company Blue Water Shipping. Blue Water Shipping is an international transport firm based in Denmark, which operates in 30 countries across the globe.

The agreement with PostNord, state-owned parent company of Swedish Post and Post Danmark, will see the postal company distributing parcels and pallets assembled by Blue Water Shipping for destinations in the Nordic region.

The deal will kick off on 20 October.

PostNord, which has a strategy to build its logistics business to counter the financial impact of steadily declining letters volumes, said it was looking forward to helping Blue Water Shipping to grow and develop in the Nordic region.

Henning Christensen, the head of PostNord Denmark, said: “The Nordic region is our home territory, and with our finely meshed distribution network, it’s where we can offer Blue Water Shipping the best and most effective solutions—ones that can make a difference to them and their customers.”

Blue Water Shipping

Blue Water Shipping operates in seven different business areas — general cargo, temperature-controlled logistics, marine logistics, wind power industry logistics, port services, oil and gas logistics and North Atlantic logistics.

The firm has more than 1,400 employees around the world, generating sales of DKK 4.3bn (EUR 578m) in 2013.

Blue Water Shipping is in the process of “extensively” expanding its position in the Nordic region, and the PostNord agreement will contribute to this strategy.

Michael Poder Hansen, head of road transport Europe ad Blue Water Shipping, said with PostNord his company was gaining a partner that knows the Nordic region “better than any other distributor in the market”, offering “high quality” deliveries.

He said: “The agreement means that PostNord will distribute the large amounts of parcels, pallets and groupage that we handle on behalf of our customers in the Nordic region. We’re happy to be working with PostNord since this will make us an even more attractive partner to our present and future customers.”
