Fresh and frozen whitefish, herring and mackerel move across the quays of Fuglafjørður (FO FUG), a natural harbour on Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands that has served Faroese and foreign trawlers since a first proper pier was built around 1910. Onshore facilities include a fish-filleting plant, a net and trawl-gear workshop, and an oil depot where vessels bunker fuel before returning to sea. The cargo pier reaches roughly 11 metres of depth, adequate for mid-sized fishing and supply vessels rather than deep-sea container carriers. Salmon farming also anchors the local economy, with an onshore smolt-rearing facility feeding open-water pens in the fjord. No scheduled container line calls at Fuglafjørður; shippers needing box or general cargo services typically route through the port of Tórshavn, about 40 km away.
