ABERDEEN logistics management company, Asco, has received £1.6 million to develop one of its Norwegian bases.
The grant, from The Norwegian Coastal Administration, will be used to improve technology at its premises in Leirvika, part of its Hammerfest supply base.
Efficiency improvements include streamlining freight flow for sea-based transport and logistics chains, placing the company in a more competitive position for sea transport for the seafood, aquaculture, fishing, consumer goods and oil and gas industries.
Tom Eirik Lysmen Jakobsen, Asco Hammerfest base manager, said: “When the base in Leirvika is completed and we have implemented solutions around efficiency and digitalisation, it will provide significant benefits to customers and we believe that it opens up the use of the terminal to new industries.
“It’s about getting the right equipment at the right time with 100% control, which will save a lot of time and resources for our customers.”
