Tucked at the head of the Gandsfjord, about 15 km south of Stavanger in Rogaland, Sandnes is a working cargo port rather than a token harbour. It offers bulk, tanker and general-cargo berths and runs liner and scheduled services to Baltic, Northern European and Norwegian ports, staying ice-free year round. The port handles roughly 230,000 tonnes and over 1,200 vessel calls annually, with Seafront providing container, breakbulk and bulk handling, and a tanker berth at Lura nearby taking vessels up to about 50,000 DWT at 13.5 m draught. Hinterland distribution across Rogaland is road-based, complemented by the wider Stavanger region for deep-sea volumes. For large container quantities or ocean mainline calls, shippers typically use Risavika/Stavanger, while Sandnes suits regional breakbulk, bulk and project cargo.
