Terminals description Sample Clauses

Terminals description. In addition to the six production sites in Rogaland and Hordaland, NorStone has three terminals located alongside the Norwegian western coast at Forus, Laksevåg and Bøneset. These terminals are used in order to serve local customers within a specific area and product distribution is based on trucks, but the terminals are supplied by vessels. In the dataset the transportation between production sites and terminals are considered as a customer order. The role of the terminals is partly to create a buffer in product delivery for the local customers, who do not need large quantities at once, but rather smaller quantities and more often. Therefore, terminals are a potential extra inventory holding spot for the production sites.
