| dc.description.abstract | This paper concerns the forwarding company KDSB and their investigation of intermodal
operational activities in the Northern part of Europe. Due to receiving new contracts by three
customers in the Oresund area of Scandinavia, KDSB will enter the freight forwarding
business in the region. One customer is located in Malmo, another in Copenhagen and a
third at the Hoje Taastrup terminal outside of Copenhagen. These customers have a demand
of transportation between the port of Hamburg and their locations. Furthermore, the company
have chosen to operate on the new to be constructed Fehmern Belt Link. The construction of
the link is to be finalized in 2021, and is expected to change the current flow of freight in the
Scandinavian region. In order to conduct necessary investments and strategic decisions,
KDSB have evaluated other possible routes and modes. Hence, the new Fehmern Belt Link
is being compared with other possible alternatives. An investigation regarding the
infrastructure, a performed cost analysis, a market analysis and a setup plan is proposed in
the paper | sv |
