Lloyd’s Register transport assurance manager Asle Martinsen said: “This new agreement is testament to LR’s expertise and excellent track record in the European railway sector.

“It follows a previous framework agreement for NoBo services for Trafikverket, where we delivered positive results and developed a good relationship over a three-year period.

“This latest agreement provides us with an opportunity to further strengthen this relationship, build on an already high level of trust and continue to deliver exceptional assurance services.”

In April, Swedish company AFRY announced that it will assist Trafikverket in modernising the railway between Älmhult and Hässleholm.
