The aim of this report has been to analyze the freight transport marked in Norway, answering the question is it possible to rise the level of intermodal transport solutions in Norway. The analysis is mainly based on national statistics. Road transport accounts for virtually 100% of freight on distances under 100 km, but has been increasing also on longer distances, in particular for general cargo. There has been a transfer of low-value general cargo and high-value bulk from sea and rail to road. Rail is competitive with road primarily for carriage of general cargo on its main routes. We have shown that the road freight price is 6% lower on routes with parallel rail transport, while no such differences can be shown for alternative sea routes. A rough estimate indicates that about 25% of goods carried 100 km or longer are cross-loaded between two different transport modes in a single transport chain.
