With port facilities in Drammen, Oslo, and Malmö, Autolink prepares and redistributes to dealerships three quarters of all automobiles in Norway.
Transport from the factory, or from large, central ports in Europe to Norway is performed by the subsidiary Motorships using car carriers, with 150 annual calls.
The subsidiary Cargolink operates ten Di 6 locomotives and more than 100 autoracks, and annually distributions 50,000 automobiles on 600 trains to terminals in Stavanger, Bergen, Åndalsnes, Trondheim, Mosjøen, Mo i Rana, Bodø and Narvik.
[11] Traditionally, Autolink had used the Norwegian State Railways, and subsequently their subsidiary CargoNet, for operation of the autorack trains.
[12] On 31 January 2007, Autolink bought 40% of the private railway company Ofotbanen, and transferred the freight contract to them.
They stated that the deal with Ofotbanen was discontinued because the majority owner—Rail Management, owned by Michael Steimler—would not allow additional private placements of capital, nor sell their shares to Autolink.
[8] The court ruled that an interim decision could not be made due to the complexity of the contracts, and that a normal lawsuit would have to be carried out to determine the matter.
[20][21] Rail Management subsequently established the new company Ofotbanen Drift, and stated that the cause of the bankruptcy was that Autolink had not let them make a private placement of NOK 10 million.
