Port of Rostock

Rostock connects Baltic ferry and roll-on/roll-off services with road and rail networks farther inland. Its commercial port extends along the Warnow, with separate terminal areas accommodating wheeled freight, bulk commodities and other cargo.

The ferry facilities link directly with the A19 and A20 motorway network. Nearby, the intermodal terminal transfers loading units between trains and road vehicles, allowing freight arriving by sea to continue beyond the coastal region without depending entirely on long-distance road haulage.

Passenger ferries to Denmark and Sweden share this transport role with commercial vehicle and trailer traffic. Other quays and maritime businesses, including shipyards along the river, broaden the port’s activity, while the cruise facilities at Warnemünde occupy a distinct waterfront location.
