Cargo ships from Russia, Scandinavia or England, ferries to Terschelling and Vlieland, fishing cutters, numerous tjalks, clippers and yachts contribute to activity in the harbours.

The port is home to the largest brown fleet in the Netherlands; countless tjalks and clippers have Harlingen as their home port and once every few years the <a href=\"https:\/\/harlingensail.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tall Ships<\/a> come sailing into the port.
