The harbour

The Index rates Wismar a small natural harbour on the coast. It lists container berths, ramps for roll-on, roll-off ships, dry bulk berths, liquid bulk berths and general cargo berths there. It takes ships up to 294 m long, through a channel at least 9.4 m deep. Ice can restrict the way in.

Good to know

  • NGA’s World Port Index rates a harbour by its area, facilities and wharf space when it was last surveyed, not by its traffic, so a busy terminal can be rated small. Where it doesn’t know about a facility it says so, and only what it marks as there is listed here.
  • AIS is heard by receivers on shore, so coverage follows where they are: ships far out at sea, or off coasts without one, don’t show. Warships and some others switch it off, and a ship’s type and destination are typed in by its crew.
  • Harbours from NGA’s World Port Index (Pub. 150), downloaded on Oct 19, 2026. The major ports and chokepoints are the map’s own reference list.
