Its town harbour mainly serves fishing, leisure boating and tourism, and no meaningful container or general-cargo operation is confirmed. Shippers with freight in the area rely on the nearby port of Kiel, about 30 km south, which offers ferry, RoRo and break-bulk facilities.","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/seaports/eckernforde-port-de-eck","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/seaports/en/eckernforde-port-de-eck","source":null,"provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Freight Academy","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Eckernforde · (UN/LOCODE: DE ECK) · Germany · Small · 6.4 m"}
