UN/LOCODE ISSEY marks Seyðisfjörður, a fjord town on Iceland's east coast that hosts the country's only scheduled international RoRo ferry link. Faroese operator Smyril Line Cargo sails the vessels Norröna, Mykines, Lista and Glyvursnes on a weekly rotation connecting Seyðisfjörður with Tórshavn (Faroe Islands), Hirtshals (Denmark) and Rotterdam (Netherlands), carrying passenger vehicles alongside general cargo, containers and project freight. The Hirtshals crossing takes roughly 47 hours, and winter sailings can shift with weather conditions. Berths sit at Eystara Bryggja close to the town centre; there is no dedicated container terminal. Hinterland access runs solely via Iceland's Ring Road (Route 1) over the Fjarðarheiði mountain pass, since the country has no rail network. Customs clearance happens directly at the ferry terminal, reflecting Iceland's EEA and Schengen status outside the EU. Shippers needing deep-sea container service typically route via Reykjavík or Þorlákshöfn instead.
