Where the ring road detours hundreds of kilometres around Breiðafjörður bay, the car ferry Baldur cuts the journey to about 2.5 hours, sailing daily from Stykkishólmur (UN/LOCODE ISSTY) on the Snæfellsnes peninsula to Brjánslækur in the Westfjords, with a stop at Flatey island. The vessel carries up to 280 passengers and 49 vehicles, handling a share of general cargo and vehicle transport alongside foot passengers. Anchorage depth reaches 27 metres, though the port has no major dry dock. Local fishing also uses the harbour, but there is no significant container handling. Road access runs via Route 58, and the nearest larger freight port is Reykjavík, about 170 km to the south.
