Frozen seafood outbound and consumer goods, foodstuffs, machinery and construction materials inbound define cargo flows at Nuuk, Greenland's largest port and former Godthåb. Its modern container terminal opened in 2015 with a 310-plus-50-metre quay, two mobile harbour cranes, around 40,000 m² of container yard and 500 reefer plugs. Since 2017 it has been run by Royal Arctic Line (RAL), which holds the exclusive concession for cargo to, from and within Greenland, and roughly half of the nation's seaborne freight passes through here. Reefer capacity is central given the dominance of fishery exports. Transatlantic links run via Aalborg in Denmark and via Iceland, where services connect with Eimskip. Aalborg is the natural European feeder port, while smaller Greenlandic settlements are served by coastal feeders out of Nuuk.
