Coded DE GLU, Glückstadt sits on the lower Elbe and works as a compact bulk-and-breakbulk port rather than a deep-sea terminal. The Hafengesellschaft Glückstadt handles mainly agricultural goods — fertiliser, animal feed and grain — and supplies regional paper, cement and timber firms as well as power stations. Some 20,000 m² of open storage and 4,000 m² of covered space lie right at the quay, suitable for dry bulk, general cargo and containers, though the shallow tide-gate entrance limits calls to coasters and smaller vessels. Road and rail link the port to the Schleswig-Holstein hinterland, and the FRS Elbe ferry to Wischhafen carries local cross-river traffic. Deep-draught ships, larger parcels and scheduled container services are better served by Brunsbüttel or Hamburg.
