Royal Arctic Line, Greenland's state-owned shipping company, operates Qaqortoq (UN/LOCODE GLJJU) as one of 13 domestic ports serving South Greenland's largest town of about 3,000 residents. The natural coastal harbor on the Labrador Sea has a quay depth of roughly 7 meters, accommodating vessels up to about 150 meters. Inbound containerized cargo consists mainly of construction materials and consumer goods, while outbound shipments are dominated by shrimp and halibut destined for Denmark. All freight moves by sea via a feeder link to Nuuk and onward to Aarhus, since no road network connects Qaqortoq to other settlements. Nuuk remains the nearest hub for connections into wider international container services.
