ISPAT Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of ISPAT
Patreksfjord Port is the seaport of Patreksfjordur, in the city of Patreksfjordurin Iceland. Overseas routes include Europe, Port code is ISPAT.
Port Overview
Patreksfjordur, identified by UN/LOCODE ISPAT, is a small coastal harbour in Iceland’s Westfjords, serving the town of Patreksfjordur and its surrounding fishing-oriented community. Its logistics profile is that of a local harbour and cruise destination rather than a dedicated container gateway. General harbour services include wharf or anchorage arrangements, pilotage, potable water, electricity, weighing and waste disposal. The supplied port record describes a 230 m cruise pier, a 40 m channel width at low tide and 5.8 m low-tide depth; these parameters should be reconfirmed with the harbour before booking. Cruise vessels of varying sizes may anchor, while tender transfer to the port is indicated at approximately 5–10 minutes. Our service team recommends routing containerised or regular liner cargo through a larger Icelandic gateway when equipment, sailing frequency or inland consolidation is required.

Key Highlights
- Small-port operating model: ISPAT is better suited to local maritime activity, cruise calls, fishing-related support and selected general cargo than to routine container line operations.
- Depth-sensitive access: The supplied record states 5.8 m depth at low tide; vessel size, draft and sailing window require case-by-case harbour confirmation.
- Alongside and anchorage options: A 230 m cruise pier is described, while larger cruise vessels may use anchorage with tender transfer.
- Limited network assumptions: The port record shows no FCL, LCL or automotive movement figures; our team will verify feeder, charter, truck and transshipment options before quoting.
- Weather and tide exposure: Westfjords geography, tidal conditions and weather may affect berthing, tendering, cargo handling and inland delivery schedules.
Facilities & Services
Routes & Transit Times
- Typical routing logic: For international cargo, our service team will normally compare a larger Icelandic gateway, feeder or coastal connection, and final road delivery to Patreksfjordur. A direct ISPAT sailing must not be assumed.
- General cargo and project shipments: Charter, part-charter or coastal solutions may be considered when cargo dimensions, draft, handling equipment and berth availability are confirmed in advance.
- Cruise and ship-supply movements: Tendering, anchorage, port-call sequence and local delivery timing may influence the handover more than ocean sailing time.
- Transit-time controls: Weather, tides, vessel nomination, transshipment connection, customs release, road availability and seasonal access can materially change the final ETA. Any timeline supplied by our team remains subject to carrier and port confirmation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary service area: Patreksfjordur and nearby communities in the southern Westfjords, with road distribution as the principal inland delivery method.
- Fishing-related supply: Fishing equipment, maintenance parts, marine consumables, packaging materials and provisions are commercially relevant cargo categories for a fishing-oriented locality.
- General and project cargo: Building materials, machinery, spare parts and public-service supplies may be moved through local harbour arrangements, subject to handling and road constraints.
- Tourism-related cargo: Cruise provisions, passenger-service supplies and port-call support cargo may occur, but should be planned around the confirmed vessel schedule.
- Container strategy: For standard FCL, LCL or temperature-controlled cargo, our team will compare gateway handling, feeder availability and final-mile road costs rather than treating ISPAT as a conventional container hub.
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cut-offs: No standard ISPAT terminal cut-off is established in the supplied data. Obtain vessel nomination, berth window, cargo receiving deadline and documentation cut-off before confirming the shipper’s ready date.
- Dangerous goods: Submit the correct IMO declaration, UN number, packing group, technical name, package details and emergency contact before acceptance. Do not assume local harbour acceptance or storage capability without written approval.
- Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, origin information and any permits must be consistent. Customs release and possible inspection can delay a small-port delivery, so cargo should not be dispatched before status is confirmed.
- Inland delivery: Confirm truck dimensions, axle weight, loading method, road access, ferry or coastal interfaces, delivery appointment and weather contingency. Oversized cargo requires a route survey and local acceptance in advance.
Shipping Tips
- Send cargo dimensions, gross weight, packing photos, commodity description and intended delivery date to our service team before booking. This allows us to test berth, equipment and road feasibility.
- Build schedule buffer for tide, weather, transshipment, customs and inland access. Avoid planning critical production or passenger-support cargo around a single unconfirmed sailing.
- For machinery and project cargo, use seaworthy packing, lifting points, centre-of-gravity marking and moisture protection; obtain a lifting and handling plan before dispatch.
- For regular FCL/LCL cargo, ask our team to compare a larger Icelandic gateway with final road delivery to Patreksfjordur. The lowest ocean freight may not produce the lowest landed logistics cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can ISPAT handle a standard FCL shipment?
- The supplied record does not confirm routine container-terminal facilities or FCL volume. Our service team will verify local acceptance, equipment, vessel connection and final-mile handling; a larger Icelandic gateway may be more suitable.
- Can a large cruise ship berth at Patreksfjordur?
- The supplied description states that all sizes of cruise ships can be accommodated at anchor, while a couple of smaller ships may berth simultaneously at the cruise pier. Actual anchorage, tendering and berth arrangements require harbour confirmation.
- What is the published water depth?
- The supplied port record states 5.8 m at low tide and a channel width of 40 m at low tide. These figures are not a substitute for a vessel-specific navigation review, and the latest harbour confirmation should be obtained before nomination.
- Is there a fixed customs or terminal cut-off?
- No fixed ISPAT cut-off is provided in the source record. Cut-offs depend on the nominated carrier, port operation, cargo type and customs status; our team will obtain the applicable deadlines for each shipment.
- What documents are normally needed?
- Prepare a commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, accurate commodity description and any applicable import, sanitary, veterinary or dangerous-goods documentation. The exact set depends on the cargo and Icelandic customs requirements.
Data Sources & Provenance
Hard identifiers, coordinates, service description and physical parameters in this module are taken from the supplied ISPAT port record. The 230 m pier, 40 m low-tide channel width, 5.8 m low-tide depth, tender estimate and listed harbour services should be treated as source-record information and reconfirmed with the relevant harbour contact before a vessel or cargo commitment.
For Icelandic customs and national statistical context, our team may cross-check applicable requirements through official government domains including island.is and hagstofa.is. These domains do not by themselves confirm berth availability, local tariffs, equipment inventory, sailing schedules or operational cut-offs for ISPAT.
Verification boundary: carrier routing, port acceptance, draft restrictions, cargo handling, customs status, inland road access and delivery timing remain subject to current written confirmation by the port, carrier, authorities and our service team.
