We have many different operations at our port. Whether you are looking for stevedoring with regards to containers or cargo, bunkering or opportunities with fishery and fish factories, there are many possibilities – several ferry options as well.
We are a company with 100 years of experience. Today we have 3500 metres of quays, 400.000 m2 laydown and open storage and our max. depth alongside is 14.8 metres.
The Port of Tórshavn (Tórshavnar havn) is the largest and busiest of the many harbours dotted throughout the Faroe Islands. As a thriving port with a truly international outlook, Tórshavn offers an unrivalled concentration of quality maritime services and expertise.
Tórshavn has enjoyed success as a base for North Atlantic fishing fleets, a focus for the nation’s container and ro-ro ferry traffic and a growing summer call for cruise ships.
In recent times, a process of consolidation has led to many smaller neighbouring municipalities – Kollafjørður, Nolsøy, Kirkjubøur, Hestur and Koltur – being absorbed into Tórshavn. So today, around 40 per cent of the total population of the Faroe Islands lives within its extended municipal boundaries.
As a consequence, this municipal enlargement has significantly widened the operating area of Tórshavnar Havn, which now includes harbour facilities at Sund and Kollafjørður.
The three harbour areas directly controlled by Tórshavnar havn are the best served in the Faroe Islands.
Tórshavn is also the largest port in the Faroe Islands for containerised cargo. Every week, container services link Tórshavn directly with Iceland, Scandinavia, Continental Europe and the UK.
