The port

The port of Klintehamn consists of a commercial harbour and a Northern Pier for a fast ferry service. The commercial harbour is made up of four berths designated to accommodate forest products and dry cargo including; limestone, fertiliser, wood chips, grain and gravel/stone. Servicing the cargoes within the commercial harbour is Gotland's largest sawmill which is operated by Gotlandsflis AB. Klintehamn Grain plant is also located within the harbour operated by lantmannen and finally Gotlands Stuveri AB who handle the loading and unloading of goods in the port.

From the Northern Pier, a fast ferry service operates to the island of Stora Karslo and occasionally to Lilla Karlso. The fast ferry to Stora Karlso is a 30min journey however during some tours Lilla Karlso is called, which means that the travel time will then be approx 40mins. A small marina is located to the E of the Northern Pier and frequented by small private pleasure vessels.

The port area developed in the 17th century and boomed in the 1770's with significant trade. By the 1800's, Klintehamn was dominated by shipbuilding and trade. As of today, approx 250,000t of cargo and 8,000 passengers are handled annually.
