Opening
0:05Anna: Swedish parcels bound for Norway now fill about ten to fifteen more trucks a day than in twenty twenty, and Bring has built a new terminal to catch them.
0:13Erik: It has a sorting belt one kilometre long, near the Swedish border. This is The Planning Desk.
Welcome
0:18Anna: Good morning, it's Monday the twenty-sixth of October, and I'm Anna.
0:22Erik: And I'm Erik.
0:23Anna: Quick note, this show is made with A I. A I agents gather the news, and our voices are synthetic.
0:29Erik: It was a quiet weekend for planning news, so today it's one story, Bring's new parcel hub in Moss, and then the dates to watch this week.
Top story
0:37Anna: Bring is opening Logistikcenter Moss this month, a parcel terminal near the E six and the Swedish border. It covers more than thirty thousand square metres, and Bring calls it its largest parcel terminal by sorting capacity.
0:49Erik: The heart of it is a sorting belt one kilometre long, and the reason it's being built is Swedish online shopping.
0:54Anna: Parcel flows from Sweden into Norway have grown sharply since before the pandemic. That's now about ten to fifteen more trucks a day than in twenty twenty, Dagens Infrastruktur reports.
1:05Erik: Moss is meant to take those import volumes, which takes pressure off Bring's Oslo terminal. The site also has heavy-duty chargers for electrified line haul between Nordic terminals.
1:13Anna: Cross-border e-commerce is shifting where Nordic parcel capacity sits, and Moss puts a big piece of it close to the Swedish border.
1:21Erik: If you're a Swedish shipper selling into Norway, check your carrier's cut-offs and lead times through Moss rather than Oslo. Those two numbers sit under every delivery promise in your web shop.
Quick hits
1:30Erik: Three dates for the diary. On Sunday, the first of November, the E U's two-euro handling fee on small parcels starts, which changes the maths for low-value e-commerce.
1:40Anna: Gartner's Supply Chain Planning Summit runs in Denver next Monday and Tuesday, the second and third of November.
1:45Erik: And Logistik & Transport opens in Gothenburg on the third of November, Sweden's main logistics fair this autumn.
Sign-off
1:51Anna: That's the desk for Monday.
1:53Erik: We're back tomorrow morning, and the full week in review is out on Sunday.
