About This Seaport
Ólafsfjörður (UN/LOCODE IS OLF) is one of three small fishing villages on the Tröllaskagi peninsula in north Iceland, home to roughly 785 people whose economy still centers on fishing even though the herring boom that built the town in the 1940s and '50s has long ended. The natural, sheltered harbor shelters a handful of trawlers and small fishing vessels but has no container-handling capacity. Two road tunnels, opened in 1991 and 2010, give the town year-round land access to neighboring Siglufjörður and Akureyri. No public source confirms customs or freight-forwarding services on site, so shippers needing container or general cargo handling should look to the port of Akureyri instead. In short, Ólafsfjörður serves the local fishing fleet rather than international freight.
