Daily express freight between Stockholm and southern Finland

Quick deliveries are becoming increasingly important to many companies and producers. Scandic Trans has been able to provide express freight deliveries between Finland and Sweden since 2003, thanks to their terminal in Turku harbour. Departures in both directions take place every weekday and four vehicles, specially developed for this purpose, run between Stockholm, Turku, Helsinki and Tampere every weekday.

The terminal, including its warehouse facility, has the best possible location in Turku harbour, and today employs three people. Another two people also manage the express traffic from here. Office manager Marjo Lehto clarifies:

“At the same address we have our sales office and storage operation. We have facilities for storing cold, frozen and warm goods. Here we handle all kinds of goods; foodstuffs, general cargo and hazardous goods. The volumes have increased constantly over the years, both when it comes to stored and transit goods.

“But at the moment we are seeing a slowdown in the export boom,” Marjo Lehto notes.

“Our express freight to Stockholm is carried out with smaller vehicles without trailers, approved for foodstuff transport. They are versatile in the sense that they have different temperature zones and can carry both frozen and temperature-controlled goods, but also regular goods, all according to the customers’ wishes.

“Our drivers are very familiar with all the loading and unloading spots, and thanks to the vehicles’ size we can deliver directly to the customer. We focus on customer-oriented solutions that we tailor as we go and the owner-based traffic, which is the cornerstone of Scandic Trans, includes strong know-how,” Marjo Lehto continues.

“They have really invested in keeping their vehicle fleet in good condition and all the drivers are educated and competent. They make up the core of the operation and have a strong and important role, especially when it comes to loading and unloading,” she adds.

Besides the express traffic, the terminal in Turku also has another role. When needed, their own freight can be reloaded here, depending on the final destination, and the warehouse is used for both short and longterm storage, which often includes seasonal products.

Marjo Lehto herself works mainly with sales and customer relations. “To us it’s important not only to find new customer relationships, but also to maintain our existing ones. The level of service has to be high and the customer always has to be satisfied. We also want to be able to react quickly to changes in the flow of goods. Thanks to the company’s size it’s easy for us to see to the big picture,” Marjo Lehto concludes.
