The Nuuk shipyard side of the harbor is very busy as well and movements are constant. While haulout and all repairs are possible here but prices are higher than in Europe or the Americas.
Nuuk shipyard is renowned for being extremely expensive. The slipway is meant for commercial ships, however it would be possible to haulout a yacht here by crane.

Victor Wejer – OCC Port Officer – reports 19/07/2024:
Please note, major Greenland harbour NUUK is out of bounds and is not accepting any sail boats to
either moor or anchor due to overcrowding.
Some small bays around are available but with no any kind of access, facilities or service.
As of 2025 Nuuk harbour Master announced that only passenger Cruising Ships will enter its harbour.
Its harbour expansion planned is not expressed yet. The rest of Greenland is free for anyone to enter.
Every repairs are possible in Nuuk, but with higher prices than in Europe or Americas. Nuuk shipyard is renown to be extremely expensive.
There is always the possibility to lift up a boat at the shipyard (the slipway is reserved for large commercial ships) but the cost could again turn out to be high.
Estimates are just for an indication and you can end up to pay 3 times the said price. There are various cranes up to 110t. Many repairs possible but you have to look for individuals to help you, the situation change from one year to another.
A new shop opened with many boat parts as well as new engines, etc. and is located at the fuel dock.
