Treating Bolungarvík as a cargo port would miss its real nature: this is the busiest fishing harbour in Iceland's Westfjords and one of the country's oldest fishing stations, worked since the 17th century. Catch landing and fish processing are the business here, not container or general-cargo handling, and no liner or terminal services for ordinary freight are confirmed. The village of roughly 900 people sits about 14 km from Ísafjörður, reached through the Bolungarvík tunnel. Ísafjörður and its Sundahöfn quay form the regional cargo centre for the Westfjords. Containerised goods ultimately move via Ísafjörður and Reykjavík.
