About This Seaport
Around 500,000 tonnes of cargo move across Akureyri (IS AKU) each year, making it the leading port of northern Iceland at the head of Eyjafjörður. Throughput is a mix of dry bulk, breakbulk and containers, with a strong bias toward frozen and chilled seafood from the surrounding fishing industry. Eimskip runs its own terminal at Oddeyri and links the port to Reykjavík and continental Europe via the Icelandic coastal service and North Atlantic lines. Berth depths of roughly 8 to 11 m accommodate standard feeder and reefer vessels. As Iceland has no railways, all inland distribution relies on the Ring Road (Route 1). For larger container volumes or transshipment, Reykjavík (Sundahöfn) remains the primary gateway, complemented by Reyðarfjörður in the east.
