About This Seaport
At its peak, 500 boats worked the herring grounds off Siglufjörður, and the town's wooden docks, laid end to end, would have stretched more than six kilometres. That era faded when the herring vanished around 1970, but the northern-Iceland port still functions as a mid-sized fishing and shipping harbour with the usual services, bunkering and limited repairs. Throughput centres on pelagic catch, fishmeal and fish oil plus local supplies rather than scheduled container traffic. Road links — including the tunnels toward Akureyri — handle inland movement, since Iceland has no railways. For containerised import and export, forwarders rely on Akureyri or Reykjavík, served by Eimskip and Samskip, while small cruise vessels call in summer.
