Serving Iceland's energy-intensive aluminium industry, the port at Straumsvík is the dedicated works harbour of Rio Tinto's ISAL smelter near Hafnarfjörður. Alumina is shipped in – sourced partly from the USA and Ireland – and value-added aluminium billets are loaded out, with almost all output destined for the European market. The smelter runs at a capacity of around 185,000 tonnes a year, powered by Icelandic hydro and geothermal electricity. This is an industrial terminal tied to a single plant, without public container or liner services, connected by road to the Reykjavík capital region. General and containerised cargo in Iceland is effectively concentrated at Reykjavík, with Reykjanes/Helguvík as a secondary option. For forwarders, Straumsvík is relevant only in the context of the smelter's raw-material and finished-metal flows.
