 The strait waterway connects inner Sarqarput Strait in the southern arm of Uummannaq Fjord in the south with the central arm of Uummannaq Fjord in the north.On the way from Qaarsut Airport on Nuussuaq Peninsula, the helicopters of Air Greenland approach the Uummannaq Heliport−located on the western shore of the strait−alongside the western wall of Salliaruseq, first converging to the island, to then turn 90 degrees to the west due to winds in the Assorput Strait.The Uummannaq port occupies a small inlet of Assorput Strait in the southeastern end of the Uummannaq Island.
