Freight to Greenland via Denmark
Greenland is the world’s largest island, a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark with fishing, mining and tourism sectors. Qube Cargo ships to Nuuk, Sisimiut, Ilulissat and across Greenland by sea and air, usually through Aalborg in Denmark.
For urgent cargo, we arrange air freight into Nuuk or Kangerlussuaq via Copenhagen. We plan sea shipments around the sailing schedule and winter ice.

Did you know...
- Greenland’s ports and transport infrastructure are limited due to its remote and rugged terrain. Most settlements are accessible only by sea or air, as there is no extensive road network connecting towns.
- Air transportation is vital in Greenland for transporting perishable items, medical supplies, and timely deliveries. Most air cargo operations are handled through Kangerlussuaq and Nuuk airports.
- Greenland’s main shipping lines are primarily run by Danish companies, such as Royal Arctic Line, which operates container ships to transport goods between Denmark and Greenland.
Trust Qube with Your Greenland Freight
Need to send something to Greenland? Positioned in the North Atlantic Ocean, the world’s largest island is characterised by expansive icy terrains. Approximately 80% of its expanse is cloaked in glaciers and ice sheets, playing a vital role in regulating global sea levels.
Inhabited by indigenous communities, notably the Inuit people, Greenland holds a rich cultural heritage centred around traditional hunting, fishing, and crafting practices. The island’s demanding environment has driven unique architecture and lifestyle adjustments, showcasing resourcefulness for thriving. Greenland’s flora and fauna have adapted to its harsh climate, hosting Arctic animals and offering stunning fjord-lined coastlines with icebergs, while the resilient locals further enrich the island’s identity beyond its icy terrain.
We will carry out your haulage to Greenland or back to the UK quickly and securely. We will provide guidance on paperwork and clearing customs, so you won’t have to worry about a thing.

Shipping to Greenland FAQs
Sea freight via Aalborg usually takes 15–25 days, depending on sailings. Air freight takes 2–4 days.
No. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but outside the EU, so goods need export and import customs entries.
Yes, but sea ice limits sailings to some northern towns. We plan routes and timings around the season.
