Better known to travellers for its cruise quays than to shippers for container stacks, Copenhagen is run together with Swedish Malmö by Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) across the Øresund. The Danish side concentrates on cruise calls, new-car imports, ro-ro traffic and dry and liquid bulk — oil products, cereals, building materials and scrap — while container throughput, though modest, is growing fast: just over 49,000 TEU in the first five months of 2025, up 32.7% year on year. A new fossil-fuel-free container terminal at Ydre Nordhavn — an extension of the Oceankaj cruise terminal covering about 165,000 m² — replaces the former Levantkaj site and opens in the winter of 2025/2026. For pure container consignments into Denmark, Aarhus remains the far larger gateway, with Gothenburg serving the southern Swedish market. Hinterland reach runs via the Øresund Bridge by road and rail, knitting Zealand and Skåne into one logistics region. Forwarders typically route project cargo, automotive and combined passenger-freight ferries through Copenhagen rather than mainline container services.
