About This Seaport
APM Terminals runs the container operation at Aarhus that makes this Danish port the busiest in the country, handling more than 60 percent of national container traffic. In 2025 the port set a record of 843,665 TEU and 11.34 million tonnes of total throughput, up nearly 28 percent on containers from 659,886 TEU in 2024. The 1,300-metre quay offers 14 metres of draft and eight gantry cranes, including Super Post-Panamax units, and is the only facility in Denmark able to handle vessels above 20,000 TEU. At around 35 moves per hour it ranks among the most productive terminals in Northern Europe. The surge was largely driven by congestion at major continental European ports, which pushed shippers toward alternative gateways. Beyond boxes, Aarhus moves breakbulk, dry bulk and project cargo, and serves many Danish shippers as a deep-sea direct call rather than a feeder leg via Hamburg or Bremerhaven. The Kattegat gives direct access to North Sea and Baltic trade lanes. Hinterland reach runs over Jutland's motorway and rail network into the rest of Denmark and continental Europe, and EU single-market rules keep customs straightforward for overseas imports. Shippers needing more frequent deep-sea sailings can fall back on Hamburg, Bremerhaven or Gothenburg.
