A 230-metre quay and a roughly 40-metre-wide entrance channel at low tide define the small harbor of Patreksfjörður (UN/LOCODE ISPAT) in Iceland's Westfjords. Fishing and fish processing, not containerized cargo, form the port's core business, handling landings and shipments of fresh fish and other seafood products. Once a trading post for English, French and German fishermen, the town's fishery-based economy was reshaped after Iceland introduced its fishing quota system in 1990. For customs clearance and broader export logistics, freight typically moves through the larger ports of Ísafjörður or Reykjavík. Patreksfjörður also receives seasonal cruise ship calls, adding passenger traffic alongside its fishing operations.
