Nordic Way Services complements public resources with transport and logistics support to strengthen the operational capacity of the Nordic region and NATO in peace, crisis and war.
With extensive experience and a broad international network of collaborators, we provide robust and flexible logistics support – ready to be activated when needed.
Sweden’s new role as a member in NATO
Sweden’s geographic location makes it a natural transit hub for Host Nation Support transports in the Nordic region – both from Norway to Finland and onwards to the Baltics, as well as from the rest of Europe into the Nordic region.
This places high demands on a flexible logistics function that can be rapidly scaled up when needed. Nordic Way Services can take a key role in coordinating various civil logistics solutions that together complement military logistics needs during Host Nation Support operations.
Civil-Military Cooperation in Large-Scale Operations
Managing large-scale Host Nation Support operations requires coordination between military and civilian authorities, as well as industry partners. The logistics needs can be extensive – ranging from equipment transports to complete camp solutions.
We provide complementary logistics support for both civilian and military needs, with a focus on efficiency, availability and readiness.
