Shipping to Rostock and the Baltic coast
Rostock is the largest city in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Germany's main Baltic port, with ferry links to Denmark and Sweden. Ocean containers from Canada, however, arrive at the North Sea ports, so in the tariff Rostock is priced like the other inland destinations.
Choose Rostock for consignees on the Baltic coast, Warnemünde, Wismar, Stralsund and Güstrow. For Schwerin there is a separate destination closer to Hamburg.
Rostock's university, shipbuilding and wind-energy companies bring international staff and commercial cargo to the region. Summer on the Baltic coast is busy with tourists, so book collection and any moving help early if your cargo arrives in July or August.
The cruise terminal at Warnemünde and the ferry port are close to the city, but your ocean cargo is released at an inland terminal; the arrival notice gives the address. Rostock's Hanseatic old town and its university, one of the oldest in northern Europe, attract students and researchers from abroad.
