1. Golden Week

   Golden Week is a national holiday in China between the 1st and 7th of October that celebrates the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. During the holiday, large parts of the logistics operations in China are closed, meaning some of Nordicons weekly consolidations will also be affected.

2. A pioneering step in sustainable logistics!

   August 28, 2024 10:45 am Leave a Comment

   Nordicon strives for a sustainable tomorrow

   During 2024, Nordicon have focused on identifying concrete measures to directly reduce our environmental impact and thereby contribute to a more sustainable consolidation. Since most of our emissions come from sea transport, we have focused on finding solutions to reduce these emissions. An important part of this work is renewable fuel – the key to reducing emissions directly linked to our operations.

   

   Biofuel insetting

   Fuel switch to renewable fuel, which means financially contributing to purchasing biofuel directly for the ships, instead of compensating for emissions through external projects, emerged as a promising strategy to create sustainable changes directly linked to our core business. To make this change possible, we have found a biofuel solution via a third party, which we can easily integrate into Nordicon’s transport range. This gives us, and our customers, a sustainable method to jointly reduce CO2 emissions for a greener future.

   
   
   Nordicon GreenwayZ: Now available on My Nordicon!

   We are pleased to announce that Nordicon now has a completely new biofuel product, Nordicon GreenwayZ Insetting Solution, that’s integrated into our customer portal, My Nordicon.

   With a few keystrokes, it’s now possible to reduce CO2 emissions for sea transport. Fill in to/from port, weight, and volume, just as usual, and then select the option “Want to reduce your carbon footprint?”. You then can choose how much of the transport you want to reduce emissions for, in the form of levels 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The cost of the deposit is based on which level you choose. Note that the ETS cost is reduced by the same percentage.

   

   

   
   Certificate

   When a booking with fuel switch has been made, a confirmation will be sent with details of the shipment, the emissions, the selected percentage, and the cost. The cost of biofuel is then included on the invoice for the entire transport.

   At the end of the year, a certificate is issued from a third party showing all biofuel bookings made, and the amount of CO2 reduced during the year.

   
   Advantages of biofuel insetting

   Nordicon’s solution provides a significant CO2 reduction of up to 100%, is sustainably certified, integrates seamlessly into existing fuel supply without operational disruption, and is easy to use via our portal, My Nordicon. In addition, the service is globally available, which allows you to save CO2 regardless of the origin or destination of the load.

   A certificate is sent annually with all the details about the CO2 reduction, which complies with international standards such as ISO 14040:2006 and the EU renewable directive.

   Companies can collaborate with Nordicon to create a more sustainable supply chain using our Biofuel Insetting Solution. This not only helps reduce the carbon footprint of transport but also contributes to the global energy transition and faster decarbonization of the shipping industry.

   Book your LCL with Nordicon and start reducing your carbon footprint today! Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions campaigns@nordic-on.com.

   We are extremely proud to offer our customers the opportunity to achieve our common goals for a sustainable future!

   
   The product is now available in Sweden.  Expansions to Denmark, Finland, and Norway to follow later this year.

   Contact your local Nordicon office for further details, and join us in accelerating the decarbonization of the shipping industry – with just a few clicks!

10. 20 years of consolidation and fun together!

    August 24, 2022 5:33 pm Leave a Comment

    Nordicon is celebrating its 20th anniversary

    It’s amazing how time flies when you’re having fun! Hard to understand that it has been 20 years since we at Nordicon opened our doors to the Nordic market and the world. More specifically, it was on Monday 11 February 2002, that five brave people in Gothenburg started what today is Nordicon. In April of the same year, Nordicon opened offices in both Finland and Norway. In Denmark, operations were started in May 2004.

    

    The journey began in a warehouse

    Nordicon’s journey began in a warehouse near the Port of Gothenburg with an office and terminal in one. This gave a strength right from the start by being close to the cargo and being able to give our customers first-hand information, whether the cargo was being imported or shipped out into the world. After a tough first year, both volume and profitability increased in the years that followed. The years 2003 and 2004 were turbulent times in the market but with a lot of hard work and a bit of luck, Nordicon came to be the leading neutral consolidator in the Nordics.

    Since then, Nordicon has steadily grown over the following 19 years and kept our position as the market leader in the region, with four well-established offices in the Nordics, and two own terminals in Gothenburg, together we are now over 100 employees. In addition to the core business of neutral ocean consolidation, we are the market leader in rail consolidation to/from China with our own block trains. A development that we are extremely proud of!

    What made this success possible?

    If not for the insatiable drive and courage of the founders to risk everything, the staff throughout the ages have always been the core of our business. Our amazing team has literally put up with thick and thin. They deserve all the recognition because it is their performance that shaped Nordicon’s success.

    Not to forget, the foundation of consolidation, is the tremendous support we have received from our loyal customers all these years. We would be nothing without you, thank you so much!

    

    2022 – a year of celebration!

    Today in 2022, Nordicon is part of ECU Worldwide, one of the world’s strongest consolidators. A strategic decision that has given us new opportunities to continue developing our business. The partnership with ECU Worldwide offers excellent opportunities and improvements for our customers in the future.

    We have chosen to celebrate Nordicon’s 20-year anniversary throughout 2022 in several different ways. Promotions, competitions, and some forgotten treasures from the photo archive over the years will be published in each country.

    But most important will have to be our #Nordicon20 parties! First off is Nordicon Sweden which will sponsor Shippis in Gothenburg on 1 September. An evening that is guaranteed to go down in history!

    We are grateful and very happy to be celebrating 20 years of consolidation and fun together!
