Fish, frozen seafood and fishmeal are the staples of Fáskrúðsfjörður, whose village centre is named Búðir, on Iceland's east coast. Among the more significant fishing ports of the East Fjords (UN/LOCODE IS FAS), it is home to several fish-processing plants and a fishmeal factory, with bunkering and supply for the fishing fleet. Larger-scale container liner or conventional breakbulk traffic is not confirmed here. The town became a trading post in 1880 and was the main base for French fishermen off the east coast until 1935. Hinterland links run via the Ring Road and the Fáskrúðsfjörður tunnel; Iceland has no railways. For containerised cargo and industrial throughput, Reyðarfjörður (Mjóeyrarhöfn) and Eskifjörður are the practical alternatives.
