Serving Iceland's capital region alongside Reykjavik, Hafnarfjordur is a versatile general- and bulk-cargo port on the country's southwest coast, about seven nautical miles from the capital and part of the Faxaflóahafnir (Ports of Faxaflói) group. It imports timber, salt, oil, LPG, jet fuel and marine diesel, and exports fish products, scrap and general cargo. Two miles southeast, the breakwater-sheltered Straumsvik terminal serves Rio Tinto's aluminium smelter, taking in alumina and LPG and shipping out aluminium ingots. Containerised trade runs mainly through Reykjavik (Eimskip, Samskip), leaving Hafnarfjordur to handle breakbulk, bulk and industrial flows. With no railways in Iceland, hinterland distribution is entirely road-based across the capital area. Shippers needing container liner services should use Reykjavik; for aluminium and dry bulk, Grundartangi is a further option.
