Ports play a vital role in support of Iceland’s fishing sector, so it stands to reason that Associated Icelandic Ports – Faxaflóahafnir – is a welcome and valued Supporter of IceFish 2026.
Faxaflóahafnir has firm foundations built on a 100-year history of port management and is a key player in the development, improvement and operation of important infrastructure in the transport network and the economy of Iceland.
Associated Icelandic Ports was established in 2005 following the merger of the Port of Reykjavik with the ports of Akranes and Grundartangi, as well as Borgarnes which provides facilities for smaller boats and local services, all north of Reykjavik on Iceland’s west coast.
Reykjavik itself combines Sundahöfn, which handles modern containers, grain, RoRo vessels and cruise ships, and Gamla höfnin, the Old Reykjavík Harbour, that supports fishing, bunker barges, ship repairs, tourism and research vessels. In total the two ports have over 4,000m of quayage.
Grundartangi meanwhile has been developed as a key industrial and commercial hub for cargo and shipping, while Akranes supports local industry and fishing.
