The seaport of Kiel is one of the most versatile and cost-effective Baltic Sea ports. Its favourable geographical position, with sufficient water depth for seagoing ships in all areas, and with direct links to rail and road networks, makes it attractive both for goods handling and for passenger traffic. The port also benefits from its favourable position at the entrance to the world’s most frequented artificial waterway, the Kiel-Canal. Parent company: SEEHAFEN KIEL (Port of Kiel) GmbH & Co.
