Port of Nuuk, Maritime transit hub in Sermersooq, Greenland

The Port of Nuuk is Greenland's largest port, in the Old Nuuk district on the bay of Nuuk. The inner area holds a marina for smaller vessels and ferries, with larger ships docking on the east side. East of the ferry terminal lies the container area, moved there from the south side in 2016.

On 21 June 2009, thousands of Greenlanders gathered at the port to celebrate the territory's expanded self-government. In November 2012 the Greenlandic authorities announced a new port for Nuuk. In September 2017 a container terminal of 47,000 m2 with a 300-metre quay opened at Sikuki, built for 63 million dollars and run by Royal Arctic Line with two new mobile cranes.

Local fishing boats and large supply ships share the same waters, which reflects how daily life in Nuuk is organized around the sea. For many Greenlanders, this is where food, fuel, and goods arrive, since no roads connect the city to the rest of the country.

The port operates throughout the year, though winter conditions can change quickly depending on ice formation in the water. Anyone planning a visit should be aware that access to working areas may be restricted.

Nuuk has no road connection to any other town in Greenland, which means ships are the only way to move heavy goods across the country. This makes the port one of the most important supply points in the country, not just for the capital.
