About This Seaport
Smyril Line Cargo's new roll-on/roll-off vessel MV Lista started weekly sailings on the Rotterdam-Tórshavn-Þorlákshöfn-Hirtshals route on 27 January 2026, reinforcing Þorlákshöfn's (ISTHH) status as the only harbour on Iceland's south coast between Grindavík and Höfn. The Faroese operator markets itself as the only continuous RoRo carrier in the North Atlantic, moving trailers and semi-trailers rather than containers, and the port has no dedicated container terminal. Hinterland access runs solely by road along Route 1 (the Ring Road) to Reykjavík, roughly 50 kilometres to the west; Iceland has no rail network. As an EEA member outside the EU customs union, Iceland applies its own customs procedures on arrival rather than EU rules. Shippers needing container capacity or larger break-bulk volumes typically route through Reykjavík or the Reykjanesbær terminals instead. The new 2026 sailing schedule has strengthened Þorlákshöfn's role in supplying southern Iceland.
