The Moss Logistics Hub in Østfold county is a crucial gateway for Norwegian foreign trade. Through the Port of Moss, one of the country's most efficient container terminals, vast quantities of consumer and industrial goods are handled. The city is home to a rich industrial heritage, formerly dominated by paper and glass manufacturing, but today it is defined by state-of-the-art logistics and distribution. Its strategic location on the Oslofjord, combined with direct access to the E6 highway and the rail network, makes Moss a convenient location for warehousing and distribution centers. Many international corporations utilize Moss as a base for their North European logistics. Recently, massive investments have been made to modernize the port and improve rail infrastructure to accommodate growing cargo flows. Moss is also committed to eco-friendly solutions, such as electric harbor cranes and the expansion of rail logistics, to reduce the carbon footprint of transport.
