| ProjectDescription | Background
Hålogaland Ressursselskap IKS is a municipality-owned company that every year takes 3 500 heavy transports with combustible refuse from Narvik (Norway) to Kiruna (Sweden). The quantity of refuse is increasing for every year with the result of more transports. Today one can certify that these lorry transports from Narvik to Kiruna neither are economical nor ecological because there is not any structure or overhaul on logistics from Kiruna to Narvik. With result that the lorries have to go empty back to Narvik.
Objective and aim
By working out a logistic structure with a number of centres in the municipalities of Kiruna and Narvik the project has a purpose to contribute to a more ecological and rational way of using the transport system between Norway and Sweden. The purpose of the project is also to look after other alternative transport possibilities that can be more environmentally friendly.
