Tá ið skip og bátar leggja at í Havn ella Kollafirði, er tað av stórum týdningi, at vindmátingarnar eru eftirfarandi. Við at skipa samskiftið við eftirfarandi dátum og tølum økja vit um trygdina.

These trends remain highly relevant in 2026. Global Seafarer Shortage Trends International organisations such as the International Chamber of Shipping (I

The Port of Vágur had a busy start to the week, combining ongoing commercial operations with an unexpected visit from the historic sail ship Lola of Skagen . Built in 1919, the Danish vessel made its first-ever call to Vágur while sailing from Stornoway to Iceland. The nine-person crew was warmly welcomed and spent time exploring the local area, praising both the scenery and visitor facilities. Meanwhile, commercial activity continued as the cargo vessel Silver Copenhagen  lo

Danske Rederier hava lagt fram eina nýggja strategi, sum skal styrkja Danmark og danska flaggið sum heimstað fyri donsk reiðarí. Eitt av høvuðsmálunum er, at handilsflotin undir donskum flaggi skal vaksa minst líka nógv sum – ella meira enn – altjóða handilsflotin.

With Driving Home for Christmas  playing on the radio, the view across the harbour feels especially fitting — not just for cars on the road, but for ships making their way home at sea. As Christmas draws near, vessels and their crews are beginning their journeys home for the holiday season.

Once the upgrade is completed, nearby residential areas around Vestara Vág will no longer be affected by ship engines running in port. The Faroese government has allocated DKK 2 million in funding to support shore power projects, inviting five ports to apply for the scheme. The Port of Tórshavn applied and

A Beautiful Visit to the Port of Vágur Yesterday, the classic wooden sailing vessel Tecla, captained by  Gijs sluik , arrived at the Port of Vágur with four crew members and twelve guests on board. During their stay, the group is discovering the natural beauty and local life in Vágur before setting course for Lerwick tomorrow.

Tor Shipping had the pleasure of acting as shipping agent for a British military vessel that recently called at Port of Tórshavn.   The ship came alongside for bunkering, provisioning, crew change, and to discharge sewage, among other services. With around 200 crew members on board, the visit also offered a great opportunity for them to experience the Faroe Islands.  Many rented cars to explore the islands, while others enjoyed the lively evenings in town — the local bars wer
