Lübecker Hafen-Gesellschaft (LHG) runs Germany's largest Baltic Sea port as a roll-on/roll-off and ferry hub rather than a deep-sea box terminal, handling around 890,000 rolling units in 2024. From the Skandinavienkai, up to 80 sailings a week serve around 20 partner ports across the Baltic, with freight ferries to Sweden, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania. Lübeck is also Europe's leading transhipment point for Scandinavian forest products, where paper, board and pulp rose 23 percent to more than 1 million tonnes in 2024. Total throughput runs into the tens of millions of tonnes, with the overwhelming share staying within the Baltic region. Trailers, breakbulk and project cargo are core business, while intercontinental container traffic is minimal. Hinterland connectivity is strong via the A1/A20 motorways, rail links into Germany and Baltic Rail Gate intermodal trailer trains. For deep-sea container shipments shippers turn to Hamburg, and for additional Baltic ro-ro options to Rostock or Kiel.
