Eskja, a family-owned pelagic specialist with seven decades of history, anchors the harbour at Eskifjordhur in eastern Iceland. Its plant processes up to 900 tonnes of raw fish a day — capelin, blue whiting, mackerel and herring — and the quays mainly serve landings plus exports of frozen fish, fishmeal and fish oil. This is a working fishing port rather than a liner gateway: scheduled container and breakbulk services do not call regularly, and freight here is tied to the seafood trade. Road links along the fjord connect the town of roughly 1,000 residents to Reyðarfjörður and Iceland's Ring Road. Shippers needing containerised import or export capacity use the deep-water terminal at Mjóeyrarhöfn (Reyðarfjörður) or the main hub of Reykjavík, served by Eimskip and Samskip.
