Skanska Norway is one of the country’s largest and leading contractors, with large and complex projects within the business areas Building, Construction and Real Estate Development. Skanska also has a business area defined as Specialists, with companies such as UCO and Husfabrikken.
As an advocate for equal competition conditions and seriousness in the construction industry, Skanska is committed to ensuring that the transport of materials and equipment for the projects is carried out in a sustainable and safe manner in accordance with the EU’s mobility package and HSE requirements.
Skanska handles extensive international transport for new water supply tunnel in Oslo project
Particularly relevant for Skanska in connection with transport from abroad now is the ongoing project for the City of Oslo with a new reserve water supply from Holsfjorden to Huseby. A 19 km tunnel will be operated here using two fully electric tunnel boring machines (TBMs). TBMs each have a diameter of 5.2 meters and are approximately 310 meters long.
The collaboration with NTEX is proving to be a valuable resource for Skanska
– Without fixed agreements, transport situations in our industry are relatively unclear.
– Our industry buys goods with essentially “freely delivered” terms. In cases where transport is not included in the price of the goods, we ask the supplier to arrange for the purchase of transport on our behalf, which can be costly and entail risk for us as the buyer. 
We have experienced challenges with suppliers who do not have transport as their core business, which makes it difficult to achieve good conditions and ensure that the transport is carried out satisfactorily. There may also be challenges related to VAT and customs, where the wrong load can create additional work and challenges for us, Leif-Martin says.
After starting our cooperation with NTEX in 2022, we have incorporated standardized and good operational routines for our transport assignments. This has been particularly important in situations where there has been a need for rapid adaptation and collection abroad. Through a transport broker agreement with NTEX, we have gained access to expertise and resources in transport and logistics that have made our transport situation easier and more efficient.
And the choice fell on NTEX because?
NTEX was chosen as the logistics provider for Skanska because of the ability to deliver on the safety, ethics and seriousness requirements that are important to us. NTEX also had well documented responses to this in the tender process, which was an important factor in the choice of bidder. In addition, it was important for Skanska to find a supplier who could help get the goods to Norway with the least possible resistance. Through good booking routines, we believe we have found a good solution where all the practicalities are taken care of by NTEX, in addition, we experience that we ensure the focus we have on both quality and costs for our transport assignments.
A direct and open line of communication with operative personnel
An important prerequisite for Skanska in choosing a transport supplier was the possibility of direct communication with NTEX personnel who are “hands on” on the assignment. When we ask Leif-Martin how he feels we solve challenges that arise along the way, the answer is that this direct communication, together with flexibility, is an important reason why Skanska has so far not experienced the major challenges in the collaboration. With NTEX as a partner, Skanska has found a supplier that takes care needs in a good way.

After a thorough review of the environment and quality routines at our office in Vestby, NTEX in Norway received its own certificates. NTEX AS’s sales and administration coordinator, Helen D. Jacobsen, has, together with the NTEX Group Quality Manager, Peter Åberg, managed all necessary processes towards the certification goal.
– In NTEX AS, this went very smoothly. We already had most things in order, so the job for us was about systematizing the documentation and thus ensuring that we all understand, work, and deliver around our environmental and quality work. It is useful and educational for us as an organization, and of course reassuring for all our customers and partners when we have chosen ISO certification as the standard for what type of business we are and want to be, Helen says.

In his new role, the new General Manager of NTEX AS will place great emphasis on ensuring that the entire team has a commercial focus.
&#8220;After my first week on the job, I can already say that I am starting in a well-functioning company with dedicated employees. I am committed to follow up on much of what is already being done. It&#8217;s about putting together details so that we become even more efficient in our processes and structures&#8221;, says Kåre Thuesen.

– We are in an exciting period with several steps in the right direction. In December 2022 we moved into a new office in Zeebrugge and just recently, in March 2023, the office in Antwerp has moved to a new office in Schoten instead of St Job in ‘t goor. Besides that, we recently changed our name to NTEX.”, says Koen Van Belleghem, CEO of NTEX Belgium and continues:
– 2023 has started intensively and our workload was higher than expected in both January and February. I am proud and happy about the effort of the entire team, which resulted in us being able to complete all deliveries on time.
Focus 2023 – new TMS system and increased customer volume.
At the office in Zeebrugge, the NTEX employees work to coordinate all Ro-Ro traffic between port of Zeebrugge/Gent and Benelux, France, and Spain. The team in Antwerp, on the other hand, puts full focus on freight forwarding to and from Scandinavia, Holland, France, and Great Britain.
In 2023, Koen and the colleagues in Belgium have the ambition to implement a new TMS system which they hope will create the conditions to fulfill the customers&#8217; needs in an even better way. They are also expecting delivery of five new trucks before the summer, which will greatly strengthen the delivery capacity. In summary, Koen Van Belleghem has high hopes for what awaits soon:
– Among many other things, we aim to optimize all Ro-Ro traffic on the North Sea and to increase customer volume on the Belgian market. Considering how positively the year has started, we have strong faith that we will achieve our goals for the year.
