Around 50,000 tonnes of cargo a year pass through Isafjordur (IS ISA), and as Iceland's third busiest cruise port it also welcomes a steady summer flow of passenger ships. The largest harbour in the Westfjords, it is built around fishing — the region's enduring industry — with modern handling plus processing and freezing facilities for fish, the area's principal export. General freight moves mainly on Eimskip's coastal feeder services, the line maintaining a local office on Eyrarskáli. There is no standalone international container liner call; boxes reach the town via Reykjavík. Road links along the Westfjords are seasonally exposed, so the sea route carries much of the supply. For mainline containerised import, export and full customs clearance, Eimskip's Reykjavík hub at Sundahöfn is the practical alternative.
