1. Future infrastructure in Greenland
Kalaallit Nunaanni Brugseni’s view on transportation and trade opportunities

2. KNB – Kalaallit Nunaanni Brugseni
Independent Retail Cooperation
15 stores in 7 cities number 16 is planned
Annual turnover around 800 mill DKK
450 employees
80 % of all goods are bought through Coop DK
We do our best to promote local products

3. Costs on shipping
Our costs on freight to Royal Arctic Line are around 10% of our annual turnover
Our costs on freight to Air Greenland are around 1,6% of our annual turnover
Other shipping costs amounts about 0,8% of our annual turnover

4. Increased freight costs
Increased retail prices
Will lead to less demands and a lower
turnover on some items
Smaller range of products e.g. produce

5. Decreased freight costs
Lower retail prices in general
Larger range of products – especially aviation cargo if an int. airport in Nuuk becomes a reality

6. Regularity & frequency
The consumers expect stocked up stores as anywhere else in a modern society, and therefore its important for the consumers that we maintain a weekly supply by ship all year.
It is also important that the total transportation time doesn’t increase – this includes also the other cities in Greenland as durability is important

7. Regularity & frequency
An international airport in Nuuk would open
up the opportunity for daily supplies
It will expected result in competition on air
freight shipping prices
As due to decreased freight prices, we will
be able to offer a much larger range of
produce and dairy products.

8. How about Iceland ? We don't have much experience or history
trading with Iceland.
A weekly sea delivery opens for opportunities
It is of great importance the supplies are
reliable and the prices are competitive.
We still don't know about future shipping costs
from Iceland to Greenland
