Nuuk - Docking
Nuuk has a very safe, protected harbor, however it is very busy and there is a lot of traffic all year long
As of summer 2014, the port authority have cleared up the main docking facility for yachts (Lystbådehavnen) which was cluttered with abandoned boats or long term liveaboards. Some electric access points have been installed and as a result a fee will be charged for docking here. It is unclear how much for now.
It is not advisable to moor at any of the commercial docks. While no one will complain (very peaceful society) movements around the clock forbid you to leave the boat alone or just for a few hours.
Anchoring is possible inside the harbor but not very practical.
Right at the centre of the harbor, there are two strong moorings normally with abandoned boats attached. It is possible to berth alongside these boats and use the moorings.
The Nuuk shipyard side of the harbor is very busy as well and movements are constant. While haulout and all repairs are possible here, prices are very high.

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.
