Port Overview

Grasten (UN/LOCODE: DKGRA) is a small Danish harbour in southern Denmark, positioned on the east coast near the German border at approximately 54.8833333°N, 9.5500000°E. Its logistics profile is regional rather than hub-oriented: the port is used mainly for grain and wood exports, while part of the harbour supports passenger traffic. The supplied port data records approximately 3,000 vessel calls, 20,000 tonnes of grain and 700,000 passengers annually. Recorded vessel parameters are limited to a maximum length of 30 metres and a maximum draught of 2.2 metres. Our service team therefore treats DKGRA as a shallow-draught, small-vessel port requiring advance confirmation of berth suitability, cargo-handling arrangements and onward transport.

Port code	DKGRA
Country / city	Denmark / Grasten
Port type	Small coastal harbour with bulk and passenger use
Coordinates	54.8833333°N, 9.5500000°E
Recorded vessel limit	Maximum length 30 m; maximum draught 2.2 m

Small-port operating model

DKGRA is better suited to local or short-sea cargo flows than to mainline container operations.

Draft-sensitive planning

The 2.2 m recorded maximum draught makes vessel, tide, cargo weight and under-keel clearance checks essential.

Bulk and forestry orientation

Grain and wood are the principal cargo profiles identified in the supplied port data.

Passenger coexistence

Passenger traffic can affect working windows, vehicle access and berth availability; operational confirmation is required before booking.

Facilities & Services

Bulk cargo handling: Grain and timber-related movements are the most relevant cargo scenarios. Loading method, conveyor or crane availability, weighing and dust-control arrangements must be confirmed for each shipment.
General and project cargo: Small parcels of wood, machinery or other breakbulk may be considered subject to lifting capacity, cargo dimensions, quay access and local handling-agent acceptance.
Container cargo: The supplied data does not establish a dedicated container terminal or regular container service at DKGRA. Our team normally assesses a regional gateway or alternative port when FCL handling, reefer connection or empty-equipment positioning is required.
Storage and staging: Temporary storage, covered warehousing, open timber laydown and grain storage should be arranged in advance; do not assume that port-side storage is available for every commodity.
Road collection and delivery: Local trucking can be arranged subject to vehicle size, access restrictions, loading equipment and the availability of a suitable appointment window.
Inspection arrangements: Customs, agricultural or cargo inspections should be coordinated before arrival because a small harbour may have fewer dedicated inspection and examination resources than a major gateway.

Routes & Logistics Transit Planning

Typical trade direction: The port’s location supports regional Danish, Baltic and northern German logistics planning, but the actual routing depends on cargo type, vessel suitability and available local handling capacity.
Feeder or gateway connection: Containerised cargo may need a road connection to a larger Danish or northern European container gateway. The chosen gateway should be evaluated against trucking distance, equipment availability, cut-off rules and total landed cost.
Bulk and wood shipments: Short-sea or coastal vessel arrangements may be more appropriate than standard deep-sea services. Loading sequence, weather, tide and draught restrictions can influence the operational window.
Transit-time qualification: Our service team provides a shipment-specific schedule only after confirming vessel nomination, berth availability, handling arrangements, customs status and inland transport. No fixed transit time or sailing frequency should be assumed for DKGRA.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Immediate hinterland: Southern Denmark and the border-facing area around Grasten are the most logical collection and delivery zones for small-port cargo flows.
Grain: Agricultural commodities may require moisture control, quality documentation, weight records, clean loading equipment and destination-specific import requirements.
Wood and timber: Logs, sawn timber and other forestry products require secure bundling, protection from weather exposure, accurate dimensions and confirmation of lifting and laydown arrangements.
Passenger-related traffic: The reported passenger activity means cargo movements may share access roads or operational areas with passenger movements; truck appointments and delivery sequencing should be coordinated locally.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: DKGRA-specific cargo acceptance, berth and documentation cut-offs must be obtained from the nominated local operator or vessel agent. A standard deep-sea terminal cut-off should not be applied automatically.

Vessel and draught check: Confirm length, beam, arrival draught, tidal restrictions, cargo distribution and under-keel clearance before fixing the vessel or truck plan. The supplied maximum draught is 2.2 m and should be treated as a planning limit, not an unconditional acceptance guarantee.

Commodity compliance: Grain, timber, fumigated cargo, treated wood, chemicals and other regulated goods may require additional declarations, certificates, phytosanitary documents or dangerous-goods procedures. Classification must be completed before booking.

Customs and inspection: Provide commercial invoices, packing lists, transport documents, origin information and commodity codes early. Customs status, agricultural controls and any physical examination must be confirmed according to the actual import, export or transit movement.

Shipping Tips from Our Service Team

Send the cargo description, HS code, weight, dimensions, packing method, loading point and desired date before requesting a firm routing; this allows us to test both DKGRA feasibility and regional-gateway alternatives.
For grain and timber, confirm moisture protection, cargo securing, weighing, loading equipment, storage period and weather contingency in the quotation stage rather than after vessel nomination.
For containerised cargo, compare an alternative gateway after including empty-container positioning, pre-carriage, terminal handling, customs movement and final delivery—not only the ocean freight component.
Build schedule tolerance into the plan for berth availability, tide, weather, passenger traffic and inspection. Our team can coordinate a local agent and inland carrier once the operational window is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can DKGRA handle a standard deep-sea container shipment?

It should not be assumed. The available port data identifies a small harbour and does not establish a dedicated container terminal or regular deep-sea service. Our team will first check local acceptance and, where necessary, quote a road-connected alternative gateway.

What vessel restrictions should be checked first?

Check vessel length and draught, with the supplied recorded limits of 30 metres and 2.2 metres respectively. Beam, tide, cargo distribution, berth availability and the operator’s current restrictions also require confirmation.

Is DKGRA suitable for grain exports?

Yes, grain is one of the principal cargo profiles stated for the harbour. The shipper should still confirm loading equipment, weighing, quality or phytosanitary documentation, storage and the vessel’s compatible draught.

Can timber be shipped through the port?

Wood exports are identified as a main use. Timber dimensions, bundle weights, lifting points, securing method, weather protection and available laydown space should be submitted for local approval before booking.

How should we request a quotation?

Provide cargo type, quantity, packing, dimensions, origin, destination, customs status, target date and whether the movement is vessel, truck or container based. Our service team will compare DKGRA with an appropriate regional gateway when operational conditions require it.

Data Sources & Provenance

Port code, name, country, city, coordinates, cargo profile, annual activity figures and recorded vessel parameters in this module are based on the supplied DKGRA port master data. Operational statements are professional planning guidance and remain subject to confirmation from the nominated port contact, vessel agent, carrier, customs authority and inland operator.

For current Danish maritime and navigation requirements, consult the Danish Maritime Authority at dma.dk. For Danish customs and tax procedures, consult the Danish Customs Agency at skat.dk. These domains are provided for regulatory verification; they are not used to infer berth capacity, sailing frequency, handling equipment or current transit times for DKGRA.

Port access, draught, working windows, inspection arrangements, cargo acceptance and local charges can change. Our service team verifies shipment-specific conditions before confirming the final routing.
