ISGRI Port (Grindavik) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

Whitefish and pelagic landings, not containers, define Grindavík (ISGRI) — and since November 2023 even that trade has been hostage to volcanic activity on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula. The town's roughly 3,790 residents were evacuated on 10 and 11 November 2023, and more than 950 homes, over 90 percent of the housing stock, have since been bought out by Þórkatla, a state-chartered company. Nine eruptions along the Sundhnúkur crater row since December 2023 — the most recent running 16 July to 5 August 2025 — forced construction of lava barriers up to 25 metres high and 14 kilometres long; no eruption was active as of spring 2026. The harbour serves fishing vessels, chilled and frozen fish processing and local supply traffic; container liner calls, customs clearance for general cargo imports and dangerous-goods handling are not confirmed here. Shippers moving ocean freight to south-west Iceland normally route via Þorlákshöfn, which runs RoRo and reefer services to Rotterdam and Hirtshals, or via Reykjavík (IS REY), the container base of Eimskip and Samskip. Anyone planning cargo linked to Grindavík should check current access with Icelandic civil protection and the port authority, since the quays and approach roads can be closed at short notice.
