ABOUT US
Oslofjord Logistikk AS
Oslofjord Logistikk AS started its operations under the name Kopstad Godsterminal Utvikling in 2013. The company’s aim was to secure a new freight terminal to replace the current terminals as these are successively laid down in the Drammen area. The area is located in Horten municipality between the Vestfoldbanen railway and the E18, not far from both Port of Horten and the port area in Holmstrand.
​
As early as in 2009 H. Strøm A/S signed an agreement with several landowners in the area to zone the areas for possible future development for a freight terminal, and the area was designated for freight terminal use in 2012. In the same year Jernbaneverket agreed to create high-capacity track access to the terminal area. Norsk Gjenvinning (a Norwegian recycling company) is responsible for infill works at the site so that it can be built on in accordance with a cooperative agreement with Oslofjord Logistikk AS.
​
In 2019, a separate board was established for the company and the name was changed to Oslofjord Logistikk AS. The reason for the name change was that the business at Kopstad is intended to encompass activities over and above terminal operations (see our aim and vision), where the focus will be on logistic-targeted business.

Lars Hellik Strøm
Managing director
Lars Hellik Strøm is the managing director of Oslofjord Logistikk AS. He has worked in logistics all his working life, firstly within third-party logistics, but from 2003, with the EU's liberalisation of international freight traffic by rail, mostly within cross-border logistics with a focus on imports from Europe. This was also the reason why he came up with the idea of building a green logistics hub with rail connections at Kopstad.

The company H. Strøm logistikk was established in 1976 and later expanded into property as a result of the purchase of the Elopak factory at Spikkestad.
