The Westman Islands’ harbour is a large fishing and
transportation port, the only one on the entire south
coast of Iceland between Hornafjörður and Þorlákshöfn.
The islands are one of the mainstays of the country´s
fishing industry and rich fishing grounds are close by.
They have for centuries provided a considerable part of
the country´s export revenues and consequently been
of great importance to the entire nation´s economic life.
The Westman Islands´ harbour attracted the notice of
the world in the eruption of 1973.

The islands´ fishing fleet transported the entire population to the mainland
in a matter of hours and during the following months
continued to land fish in Heimaey, volcanic eruption
or not. For a while the lava flow threatened to destroy
the harbour, thereby ending any possibility of continued
habitation. By dint of swift reaction, resourcefulness
and hard work the lava flow was halted and the harbour
saved by the continuous spraying of thousands of liters
of water on the encroaching fiery flow. The unforeseen
result was that the harbour actually improved, being
safer and calmer today than it ever was.

Apart from local vessels about 600 ships come to port
annually and about 200 0000 tons of fish are brought
ashore. Vessels up to 150 m long can sail into the harbour
and turn around there.

The port provides all facilities for ferrying passengers
from large cruise liners as well as offering complete
service for vessels, large and small. The Westman Islands
port fulfills all international regulations for sailing and
cargo protection.
