It is one of the most important fishing ports on the E coast and has several fish processing factories. The port handles general cargo and small tanker terminal.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone I, Winter Oct 16 to Apr 15, Summer Apr 16 to Oct 15.

Faskrudsfjordur is located on the E shore and includes Budir.

Draught 8.0m

Temporary anchorage may be obtained anywhere off the N shore of the fjord W of Kumlasker; E of Mjoeyri, vessels are exposed to the sea and swell and the best berth is off Brimnes Farm, 3nm W of Kumlasker; approach the shore at right angles and anchor in 22.0-24.0m.The first good anchorage is 0.2nm W of Mjoeyri, close E of the mouth of a stream, in depths of 35-49m; the holding ground is poor and the bottom shelves steeply. Better anchorage may be obtained by small vessels off Budhir with the extremity of the land W of Vikursker bearing approx 113° and in line with Mjoeyri, or, by larger vessels, with these marks slightly open. The bottom is soft and the holding ground no better than at the anchorage W of Mjoeyri, but the bottom shelves more gradually. Faskrudhsfjordhur is much frequented by fishing vessels and at times many of them may be anchored off the shore between Mjoeyir and Budhir.

In clear weather vessels should endeavour to make Skrudhur and enter the fjord between Hafnarnes Light and Edharsker, then keep to the middle of the fjord, where squalls are less violent than near the shores.

BA 2937. Admiralty Pilot NP11, NP286(2).

A light is exhibited from a post at each end of the pier.

Approx 4.75nm E of Skrudhur an anomaly of 17°E has been observed, and between Skrudhur and the mainland one of 11°.
