Set on the tidal Stör river some 30 km inland from the Lower Elbe, Itzehoe is a municipal inland port in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. Its roughly 4.9 m fairway suits inland barges and small coasters rather than container ships, and the quays handle dry bulk and breakbulk such as building materials, fertiliser and grain. No container terminal or international liner calls are confirmed here; the port mainly serves regional suppliers and recycling operators. Road links and the electrified Marsch railway connect Itzehoe to the Hamburg metropolitan area, while barges run via the Stör and Elbe toward the Port of Hamburg. Shippers needing containers, large-scale customs clearance or deep-sea cargo route instead through Hamburg or Brunsbüttel. Itzehoe therefore works best as a niche port for regional bulk and project cargo in the Steinburg district.
