The port city of Ro­s­tock

The port city of Ro­s­tock cel­e­brated its 800th birth­day in 2018, and its his­tory is in­ex­tri­ca­bly linked to the port and ship­ping. Fer­ries, RoRo ships, cargo ships and cruise-lin­ers are the mer­chant and pas­sen­ger ves­sels found in the har­bour to­day. With over 25 mil­lion tonnes of goods han­dled, more than two mil­lion ferry pas­sen­gers, and some 200 cruise dock­ings per year, Ro­s­tock’s Übersee­hafen (in­ter­na­tional port) is one of the Baltic Sea’s top play­ers.

Ger­many’s largest Baltic Sea port, which also hap­pens to be the only all-pur­pose port on Ger­many’s Baltic coast, is one of Ro­s­tock’s best known at­trac­tions.
