About This Seaport
Carriers such as Smyril Line and Eimskip anchor the cargo business at Tórshavn, the main port of the Faroe Islands and the harbour of the island capital on the North Atlantic. The port combines container, ferry and fishing traffic: Smyril Line runs a year-round ro-ro service for trucks, cars and passengers to Hirtshals in Denmark and to Iceland, while Smyril Line Cargo and Eimskip provide container links, including Eimskip's weekly call at Scrabster in Scotland. Containers are handled within the port by private stevedoring firms working for the main carriers. A new ferry and freight terminal is due for completion in 2026, separating passenger and cargo flows. Reefer exports of fish and seafood are among the most important cargoes. With no railway on the islands, roads and sub-sea tunnels provide the hinterland links. For large transatlantic container volumes, Reykjavík or mainland European ports act as the nearest major hubs.
