ISBOI Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of ISBOI
Bordeyri Port is the seaport of Bordeyri, in the city of Bordeyriin Iceland. Overseas routes include Europe, Port code is ISBOI.
Port Overview
Bordeyri (UN/LOCODE: ISBOI) is a small coastal port in Iceland, serving the Bordeyri locality on the Hrútafjörður area of West Iceland. It should be assessed as a local or regional maritime facility rather than as a principal container gateway. The available port master data records no regular FCL, LCL or automotive service volumes for this location. Our platform therefore treats ISBOI as a project-specific, coastal or feeder-port option requiring confirmation of vessel acceptance, cargo handling arrangements, sailing availability and inland delivery before booking.
| Port code | ISBOI |
|---|---|
| Port name | Bordeyri |
| Country | Iceland |
| Port profile | Small local coastal port; operating capability must be confirmed case by case |
| Recorded service indicators | FCL: 0 | LCL: 0 | Automotive: 0 |
Key Highlights
- Small-port positioning: ISBOI is not a substitute for Iceland’s established container gateways when a shipment requires fixed liner schedules, regular equipment supply or terminal-based customs handling.
- Service availability is shipment-specific: vessel access, cargo-working resources, storage and local handling must be confirmed with the relevant port and operating parties before any quotation is treated as firm.
- Limited container assumptions: standard FCL, LCL consolidation and empty-equipment positioning should not be presumed from the UN/LOCODE alone.
- Weather and seasonal exposure: North Atlantic weather, daylight conditions and local operating windows can affect vessel calls, cargo work and onward trucking.
- Pre-carriage is decisive: for international cargo, the practical solution may involve a larger Icelandic gateway followed by road delivery or a separately arranged coastal leg.
Facilities & Services
- Marine access: our service team will request confirmation of vessel size, draft, berth suitability, tide or weather limitations and any local port-call conditions. These parameters must not be inferred from the code.
- Container handling: regular quay cranes, reach-stackers, reefer points and empty-container depots should not be assumed. Equipment and lift arrangements require written confirmation for the specific cargo.
- Breakbulk and general cargo: local loading or discharge may be possible for suitable cargo, but lifting gear, stevedoring manpower, sling plans and cargo-protection requirements must be checked in advance.
- Storage and staging: covered warehousing, bonded storage, long-stay storage and secure cargo staging are not presumed. Our team will identify an approved nearby facility or arrange an alternative gateway where necessary.
- Road collection and delivery: inland transport normally depends on local road access, vehicle dimensions, axle weight, weather and the availability of suitable trucks; oversized or heavy cargo requires a route survey.
- Rail connection: no rail-based port solution should be planned for ISBOI. International cargo planning should be built around road transport and, where appropriate, a larger Icelandic maritime gateway.
Routes & Transit Times
- Typical routing logic: international cargo is generally more practical through an established Icelandic gateway, followed by road delivery to the Bordeyri area, unless a suitable coastal call is specifically arranged.
- Feeder or coastal option: a coastal leg may be considered for suitable bulk, project or regional cargo, but carrier acceptance, sailing frequency, transshipment points and equipment availability must be confirmed before quoting.
- Transit-time variables: actual timing depends on the international gateway, transshipment connection, port-call window, weather, customs release, cargo handling and inland road conditions. Our team will provide an indicative schedule only after route confirmation.
- No fixed-service assumption: ISBOI should not be marketed as having a guaranteed direct liner service, fixed weekly sailing or published container transit time without current carrier and port confirmation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary hinterland: the port serves the Bordeyri locality and nearby rural communities in West Iceland; the commercially relevant catchment is regional rather than a nationwide distribution base.
- Potential cargo profile: shipments may include agricultural supplies, general provisions, building materials, machinery, maintenance parts and other low-frequency regional cargo, subject to local demand and handling capability.
- Project and non-containerized cargo: machinery, packaged materials and irregular consignments may be more suitable than standard high-volume container flows, provided lifting, weather protection and road delivery are arranged.
- Equipment planning: shippers should not assume that empty containers, chassis, reefer power or specialist lifting equipment are available locally; pre-positioning or an alternative gateway may be required.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off control: there may be no standard public terminal cut-off comparable to a major container port. Our team will obtain the actual cargo-receipt, documentation, vessel-nomination and loading cut-offs from the confirmed operator.
- Dangerous goods: provide the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, quantity, package type, safety data sheet and applicable multimodal declaration before booking. Acceptance depends on the vessel, port and handling arrangement.
- Customs documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, origin information and any permits must be complete before arrival. Customs release and inspection requirements should be checked with Icelandic authorities and the appointed customs representative.
- Inspection and inland delivery: customs or regulatory inspection can require a secure holding location, additional handling and revised delivery timing. Heavy, oversized or temperature-sensitive cargo requires advance route and equipment approval.
Shipping Tips
- Send cargo dimensions, gross weight, package type, center of gravity, lifting points and any temperature or hazardous-goods requirements at the quotation stage.
- Request a written confirmation of the nominated port operator, berth or landing point, receiving window, cargo-handling method and available storage before dispatching cargo.
- For standard containers or consolidated cargo, ask our team to compare ISBOI with a larger Icelandic gateway and final-mile road transport; this can reduce equipment and schedule uncertainty.
- Build weather and customs contingency into the delivery plan, avoid non-recoverable onward commitments until cargo release is confirmed, and use protective packaging suitable for exposed coastal handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can ISBOI be used for regular FCL imports?
It should not be assumed. The available master data records zero FCL service entries, and local container handling, equipment supply and liner acceptance require confirmation. Our platform can compare an established Icelandic gateway with road delivery to Bordeyri.
Does Bordeyri have a guaranteed direct international sailing?
No direct sailing, carrier, frequency or transit time should be promised solely from the UN/LOCODE. We will check the current sailing plan and any required transshipment or coastal connection for the requested cargo.
Can oversized machinery be shipped through ISBOI?
Possibly, but acceptance depends on vessel access, lifting capacity, cargo dimensions, landing conditions, road permits and weather exposure. A cargo drawing, weight breakdown and delivery route review are required before booking.
Where should customs clearance take place?
The clearance location depends on the confirmed routing, customs status, cargo type and appointed representative. Our team will coordinate the document set and confirm whether clearance and inspection can be handled locally or should be arranged through the selected gateway.
Data Sources & Provenance
This module uses the supplied port master data for the UN/LOCODE, port name, country, city and recorded service indicators. Operational statements are presented as logistics planning guidance for a small Icelandic coastal port and are intentionally limited where berth, equipment, schedule or capacity confirmation is unavailable.
