Reykjavik (ISREY)

The Port of Reykjavнk is divided into the Gamla hцfn (Old harbour) and Sundahцfn. Gamla hцfn (Old Harbour) is mainly used for landing of marine catches, ships repair and small passenger vessels. Sundahцfn is a multi-purpose cargo port and is also used for large passenger vessels. Meanwhile, Grundartangi is a industrial port with port facilities for adjacent ferro-silicon works and aluminium smelter. Akranes is a fishing harbour.

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

The port of Reykjavik is located on the SW coast of Iceland. Akranes is a commercial and fishing centre located at the W extremity of a belt of grassland surrounding the mountain mass of Akorafjall, approx 10nm NNW of Reykjavik.

Reykjavik: LOA 200m, draught 13.0m Akranes: LOA 115m, draught 6.0-10.0m Gruntertangi: Draught 12.0m

Approx 3,200,000t of cargo, 320,000TEU and 1,000 vessels handled annually.

Good anchorages in the roads in depths of 11.0-12.0m and for larger vessels at Kollafjoerdur, 2.2nm from Engey Lighthouse. Anchorage prohibited in the area of the harbour entrance. Anchorage No 811, 64°12.5'N 021°57.5'W, depth 33-34m. Anchorage No 821, 64°09.3'N 021°55.03'W, depth 14.0m. Krossvik (64°18.6'N 022°04.5'W) depth 14.0m. The holding ground is good and the anchorage is well sheltered from winds off the land, from W through N to ESE, but gales from other directions quickly raise a heavy sea and the anchorage then becomes dangerous.Grundartangi (64°20.7'N 021°41.7'W) depth 17.0m. Alternative anchorage may be obtained in depths of 14.5-16.5m, excellent holding ground, on the line of the inner approach, or a little W of it, with the S fall of Esja plateau in line with Ytri-Holmur bearing approx 117°, or with the church bearing 335° with a light exhibited from a beacon 9.0m in height, standing on the main jetty, 152m from its root.

The harbour approach is unrestricted and ice-free all year round. The pilot station is approached from the NW within the white sector of Engey Light and the port is approached either through Engeyjarsund, least depth 12.4m, SW of the island of Engey or through Videyjarsund, least depth 8.8m, to the NE of it. A channel with least depth of 8.0m leads to the N part of Vagabakki and 7.3m to its S part. Depths in Austurhofn, Gamla Hohnin, exceed 6.5m. Outer directions: The W approach to Reykjavik S of Sydhrahraun is marked by No 6 Lightbuoy (safe water) moored 2.0nm WNW of Grotta Light. The NW approach NE of Sydhrahraun, is marked by lightbuoys as follows: ..... No 9 Lightbuoy Safe water 2.5nm NE of Sydhrahraun No 11 Lightbuoy Safe water 1.0nm SW of Akranes Light No 7 Lightbuoy Safe water 1.5nm NW of Engey Light It has been reported that approaching from the W at night, the aero lights at Keflavik airfield and Oskjuhlidh are very useful, especially in poor visibility. Inner directions: Approach with Vifilsfell (64°02.0'N 021°33.0'W) ahead bearing 130° or with Engey Light (yellow square stone tower, 9m in height, Racon) bearing 132°, which lead NE of Akureyjarrif but close to the 12.5m patch 0.85nm NNE of Akurey; the 130° leading line of Engey Light and beacon, leads over the 12.5m patch. When the steeple of the Navigation School bears 158° it should be steered for on that bearing, which leads through the fairway between Akurey and Engey in a least depth of 12.5m. When Orfirisey is abeam, course may be shaped as requisite for the anchorage, passing E of the lightbuoy off the N end of Orfirisey. At night, keep in a white sector of Engey Light (122.5° to 142°), which leads NE of Akureyjarrif, until within a white sector (154° to 159.5°) of Sjomannaskolinn Light; the latter leads to the anchorage. The W half of this sector leads over the bank ENE of Akurey in depths of 11.0m. An alternative approach to the anchorage is between Engey and Vidhey. Steer 219° with Kerholakambur in line with the NW extremity of Vidhey bearing 039° astern, which leads in a least depth of 7.3m to the anchorage. At night, approach in a white sector (187° to 194.5°) of Sjomannaskolinn Light, taking care to avoid the rocks with depths of 6.7m and 10.0m on Vidheyjarflak. Caution: In the vicinity of the lightbuoy moored 370m N of the NE extremity of Akureyjarrif (64°11.0'N 021°57.0'W) is an area where a W magnetic anomaly occurs, which reaches a maximum of nearly 20°W. This anomaly is not experienced suddenly but increases regularly as the buoy is approached from N or W and decreases regularly as the anchorage off Reykjavik is neared. A magnetic anomaly of about 8°E has been experienced about 2.5nm N of this position.
