About This Seaport
Founded in 1904 by Carl Anton Larsen as South Georgia's first permanent whaling station, Grytviken processed whales in King Edward Cove until operations ceased in 1965. Today it is the territory's administrative settlement, with a British Antarctic Survey research station at adjacent King Edward Point and a small year-round population. The cove sees government and supply vessels plus expedition and cruise ships – capped at two ship visits per day – but no commercial freight handling, container or customs service. For cargo movements the port is not relevant; the nearest commercial options are Stanley in the Falkland Islands and Montevideo.
