DKHOL Port Code Lookup

Holbaek Port is the seaport of Holbaek, in the city of Holbaekin Denmark. Overseas routes include Europe, Port code is DKHOL.
Holbaek Port, Denmark
Holbaek Port is a small Danish port at the head of the Isefjord, serving Holbæk and its surrounding local market rather than functioning as a conventional container gateway. The supplied port data identifies it as a self-governing port and records a marina capacity of 704 boats in the water, with the Holbæk Marina area participating in the free-port scheme. Regular vessel calls are dominated by sailing vessels and yachts, followed by fishing vessels and a smaller Ro-Ro cargo segment. The recorded maximum vessel length is 43 metres, maximum draught is 2 metres and maximum deadweight is 125 tonnes. Our service team therefore treats DKHOL primarily as a small-port, project, local cargo or vessel-support destination. Containerized export cargo should normally be routed only after confirming the receiving facility, handling equipment, draft, berth availability and onward connection requirements.
Fast Qualification Points for Forwarders
Facility Matching Before Booking
- Marina and vessel support: The supplied description refers to marina capacity, service amenities, fuel stands, a yard with shop, toilets, showers and washing facilities. These services are primarily relevant to yachts and smaller vessels, not automatically to commercial cargo handling.
- Ro-Ro suitability: Ro-Ro cargo vessels are part of the recorded calling profile, but ramp dimensions, cargo weight limits, berth windows and handling arrangements must be confirmed for each shipment.
- Container handling: No regular FCL or LCL volume is recorded in the supplied data. Our team will verify whether cargo must be stripped, cross-docked or transferred through another Danish gateway.
- Breakbulk and project cargo: Small consignments may be possible where the port, vessel and receiving party can accommodate them. Lifting capacity, laydown space and cargo dimensions require prior written confirmation.
- Road collection and delivery: The final leg should be planned around vehicle dimensions, local access, delivery appointments and any quay-side restrictions. A port call does not guarantee direct truck loading or storage.
Feeder, Short-Sea and Inland Connection Logic
- For international container cargo, our service team will normally compare DKHOL with a larger Danish gateway or another suitable North European port before confirming the routing. DKHOL should not be presented as having regular mainline coverage without carrier and terminal confirmation.
- Small Ro-Ro, breakbulk or coastal movements may be considered when vessel size, draught, berth access and cargo-handling arrangements match the port profile.
- Transit time is driven by the selected gateway, transshipment availability, customs status, truck capacity, delivery appointment and any required cargo transfer. Quoted schedules remain subject to actual carrier and port confirmation.
- For time-critical cargo, our team will provide a port-to-door comparison rather than relying on a port-only estimate, including any feeder, transshipment or road-leg exposure.
Local Zealand Delivery Profile
- Primary hinterland: Holbæk and nearby parts of Zealand are the logical local delivery area. Final mileage, vehicle suitability and unloading conditions must be assessed against the consignee’s exact address.
- Maritime and leisure sector: Yachts, sailing vessels, fishing activity, marine equipment and maintenance-related supplies are consistent with the recorded vessel profile and marina function.
- Smaller Ro-Ro movements: Wheeled cargo may be considered where the vessel ramp, cargo dimensions and port-side handling arrangements are approved in advance.
- Non-standard cargo: Machinery, spare parts, boat equipment and limited project consignments may require special packing, lifting or delivery planning; cargo acceptance is not automatic.
Controls Required Before Cargo Release
- Cut-off management: DKHOL-specific receiving, booking, gate and berth cut-offs should be obtained from the nominated operator or vessel agent. Do not apply the cut-off of a larger container terminal to this port.
- Dangerous goods: Provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, marine pollutant status, package details and emergency contact before booking. Acceptance depends on the vessel, route and port-side arrangements.
- Customs status: Confirm whether the movement is import, export, transit or free-port-related before dispatch. Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document and any required customs references must be consistent.
- Physical constraints: Confirm draught, vessel dimensions, cargo weight, lifting method, road approach and delivery equipment. The supplied maximum figures are planning references, not permission to load at those limits.
Practical Booking Recommendations
- Send our service team cargo dimensions, gross weight, packing type, lifting points, dangerous-goods status and final delivery address before requesting a DKHOL quotation.
- For containerized cargo, request a routing comparison through a confirmed Danish or North European container gateway; include stripping, short-haul trucking and possible storage in the landed-cost calculation.
- Use seaworthy packing, corrosion protection and clear package marks for marine equipment, machinery and outdoor cargo. Photograph cargo condition before handover.
- Book delivery appointments early and keep a contingency plan for weather, berth changes, vessel restrictions or transfer to an alternative gateway.
DKHOL Handling Questions
- Can DKHOL be used for a standard FCL export?
- The supplied data records zero FCL and LCL service counts. Our team will first verify equipment positioning, terminal acceptance and vessel connection; a larger gateway may be more appropriate.
- Is Holbaek Port suitable for heavy or oversized cargo?
- Only after confirming berth, lifting equipment, ground conditions, vessel limits and road access. The recorded 125 t maximum deadweight is a vessel-profile reference, not a cargo lifting allowance.
- What vessel size should be considered during planning?
- The supplied profile records a maximum vessel length of 43 metres and maximum draught of 2 metres. Actual acceptance remains subject to the port, vessel agent and operating conditions.
- Does the free-port reference remove customs obligations?
- No. Free-port treatment does not eliminate the need to establish the correct customs procedure, cargo status, declarations and supporting documents for the specific movement.
- How can our team obtain a reliable quote?
- Provide the cargo profile, preferred date, vessel or service details, customs status and delivery address. We will validate the port option and, where necessary, compare an alternative gateway.
