==Water transport== There are ports at [[Ilulissat]], [[Kangerlussuaq]] (also known by its Danish name Søndre Strømfjord), [[Qaqortoq]], [[Narsaq]], [[Nuuk]] (Godthåb), [[Aasiaat]] and [[Sisimiut]]. Several other towns have also small ports. The main users of the harbors are [[Royal Arctic Line]] and [[Arctic Umiaq Line]]. Royal Arctic Line organises freight ships, for example container ships, with regular sailings from Denmark. Arctic Umiaq Line runs a passenger ship which also carries freight. The distance from Denmark to Nuuk by ship is 3,800 kilometres (2,400 mi/2,000 nmi/4 days at 20 knots), so more perishable foodstuff is imported by air. There are no [[Roll-on/roll-off|car ferries]] in or to Greenland. It is possible to transport cars as container freight with [[Royal Arctic Line]] (both domestic and from Denmark). Passengers must travel by another method. This is done mostly when moving or buying a car, not normally when travelling, as there is no large road network anywhere. Many of the tourists to Greenland arrive by [[cruise ship]].
