There are no roads crossing the freight yard between the B 105 and the port area, except for the resort road to Graal-Müritz. The route of the former S-Bahn line ran along the southwestern edge of the freight yard next to the housing estates of Dierkow and Toitenwinkel, which were developed in the 1980s. The S-Bahn stops of Dierkow, Hinrichsdorfer Straße, Toitenwinkel and Seehafen Nord were operated as part of Rostock Seehafen station. The actual port area, which was fenced off during East German times and was not accessible to the public, begins at the northwestern end of the line. The terminus of the line at Rostock Seehafen Nord had two platform tracks, only one of which was used at the end of services. The tracks to the terminals in the various sectors of the port separate from the passenger line before Seehafen Nord. The longest siding of five kilometres runs to the east towards the industrial area of Hinrichsdorf.
