History
The predecessor of Nor-Cargo was established in 1967 when Be-No-Ve samseilingen was established by Bergenske Dampskibsselskab, Nordenfjeldske Dampskibsselskab and Vesteraalske Dampskibsselskab. Four years later Ofotens Dampskibsselskab, Narvik Dampskibsselskab and Nordlandske Dampskibsselskab also joined. This was a cooperation between the shipping companies. In 1979 this was taken one step further when Nordsjørederiet Nor-Cargo A/S was founded.
By 1985 this company was operating 16 short sea vessels through the company K/S Nord-Poolen. In 1988 the company RoNoTro A/S was established, and it purchased Bergenske, including the shipping companies K/S Nor-Cargo, Nordenfjeldske, the road transport companies Norske Godslinjer and the thermal transport company Sties Termo-Transport and the air cargo company NECAS, from Kosmos. By 1993 these companies had merged to one. The company continues to purchase a number of transport companies throughout the country, including many Nor-Cargo branded transport companies.[3] In 1999 the company was renamed Nor-Cargo ASA before getting its present name in 2004 when it is purchased entirely by Posten from the previous owners Det Stavangerske Dampskibsselskap and Ofotens og Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskab.[4] In 2005 Nor-Cargo also bought the road company HSD Transport.[5]
In 2006 Nor-Cargo strengthened their position on the European continent by buying Scanex in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands. Scanex had been functioning as agent for Nor-Cargo since 1989.
Nor-Cargo opened office in Houston, Texas in 2007 under President Sten Svendsen.
