The aim of this article is to identify factors that facilitate increased use of intermodal transport forperishable products based on a survey of firms exporting fresh fish from Norway to Continental Europe.The experiences in the Norwegian aquaculture industry indicate that intermodal transport solutions mustbe expanded and that the long haul by rail must run all the way to a central hub in Europe. This can onlybe achieved with a balanced flow of goods and if processors coordinate transport to deliver sufficientlylarge volumes to fill trains at an acceptable frequency.
