Container Shipping Options to Norway
There are a few ways container shipping to Norway can be achieved: sole container, shared container, and air freight. The one you choose will depend on how many goods you have, your budget, and your projected timeline. We will outline the options here.
Consolidated Container
Because many people prefer to keep their costs low, they choose to share a container with other customers – a practice that divides the total price by all customers using the container. While this option saves you money, the container only ships when filled with everyone’s stuff, and delayed transit times can result.
Exclusive Container
This one comes with a higher price tag, but because there’s no waiting on other customers, your stuff ships once it’s in the 20 or 40-foot container. The timeline is thus shortened.
Air Freight
Some people prefer their goods to get to Norway in hours or days rather than weeks, which is why they opt for air freight. This is our most expensive option.
As you can see, all three options have their benefits and drawbacks.
Destination Ports in Norway
We service five main destination ports throughout Norway, and they include:
✓ Bergen
✓ Egersund
✓ Tromso
✓ Fredrikstad
✓ Oslo
Oslo, the capital of Norway, is one of the busiest and most popular ports we sail into. If you do not live close to any of the above ports, it’s OK. We service customers who live further inland too and can connect you with the delivery of your goods.
Departure Ports in the USA
Your shipping container will most likely ship out of one of these four main ports in the USA. The one you choose is usually the one you live closest to. If you don’t live close to any of these cities, we can drive your belongings to one of these ports for you.
✓ Los Angeles, CA
✓ Houston, TX
✓ Savannah, GA
✓ New Jersey, NJ
As an example, here’s how long it takes to get to Oslo in Norway from a few different ports in the U.S. In this case, it can take between 45 and 51 days to ship a container here.
| Departure Port | Destination Port | Transit time |
|---|---|---|
| Norfolk | Oslo | 51 days |
| New York | Oslo | 49 days |
| Oakland | Oslo | 45 days |
We understand you want your shipment to get here as soon as possible, which is why we try to give you the best estimate on transit times at the time of booking.
