About This Seaport
Trawlers outnumber cargo ships at Vopnafjörður (UN/LOCODE ISVPN), a fishing harbour on the fjord of the same name in northeast Iceland, opening onto the Norwegian Sea and North Atlantic. Home to roughly 600 people, the village once served as Iceland's principal departure point for emigrants bound for North America between 1870 and 1914. Today its economic backbone is a large, highly automated pelagic fish plant processing herring, mackerel and capelin, complete with freezing and fishmeal facilities. The port itself handles trawlers and only limited general freight; there is no container terminal. Reefer cargo and fishmeal typically move onward by ship or truck via Reyðarfjörður or Akureyri, the nearest ports equipped for container and general cargo traffic.
