Samskip offers weekly schedules between Reykjavik, Reydarfjordur, Kollafjordur, Rotterdam and Immingham. This service is operated with 667 TEUs vessels, the Akrafell and Hvassafell (green route) equipped with two 60-ton cranes capable of operating together to lift loads up to 120 tons. Every second week the service calls the port of Grundartangi.
