Better known as a naval base than a commercial cargo port, Eckernförde on Kiel Bay hosts the German Navy's only deep-water harbour on the Baltic and a historic torpedo testing facility. Its town harbour mainly serves fishing, leisure boating and tourism, and no meaningful container or general-cargo operation is confirmed. Shippers with freight in the area rely on the nearby port of Kiel, about 30 km south, which offers ferry, RoRo and break-bulk facilities.
