Overview
About This Port
Reykjavík is the capital and largest city of Iceland. It is located on the southern shore of the Faxaflói bay in southwest Iceland and has a latitude of 64°08′ N, making it the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state. Reykjavík has a population of around 140,000 as of 2026, and the surrounding Capital Region has a population of around 252,000, constituting approximately 64% of Iceland's population.

Port-call activity
Arrivals, time in port and cargo operations detected from AIS — the position-inferred congestion signal, with the full dwell distribution rather than a single average.
Expected arrivals
5 inboundVessels underway broadcasting a destination that resolves to this port, closest first. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals); the computed ETA is at the vessel’s passage speed. The crew’s own reported ETA is shown alongside for comparison.

Network
Connectivity & hub role
How central Reykjavik sits in the sea-route network we cover — a connectivity score across navigable distances. A higher score means the port is navigationally close to many other well-connected ports, the maritime signature of a hub.
Directly routable to 179 other covered ports.

Method. A connectivity score across our own route network: a port reads higher when it is navigationally close to many other well-connected ports. The score is rescaled 0–100 within the snapshot, so the single most-connected port reads 100. Distances are Suez / Panama / Malacca-aware navigable sea miles.
Coverage. The route network spans the 180 largest commercial ports, so this ranks hubs within that covered network, not against every port on earth. The number is deterministic — no confidence grade is invented. Computed Jun 30, 2026.
Risk & quality
Port risk & quality
A coverage-weighted blend of recorded Port-State-Control detentions, marine casualties and live congestion at Reykjavik. Higher means more risk exposure for a ship calling here — it is a count of recorded events, not a judgement of the port's management.
Built from 33% of the three signals (scored on a single signal — treat as indicative).
Method. Each signal is normalised to 0–10 against an empirical cap, then blended weighting safety (detentions 0.40, casualties 0.35) above operational congestion (0.25). A port is scored only on the signals it has data for, and the weights renormalise — a missing signal is never credited as a safe 0.
Coverage. PSC and casualty data here is regional (US, UK, Canada), so most ports show only congestion and carry a low-confidence flag. Detention/casualty counts come from a country-scoped name match (≈60% of US detentions resolve); unmatched records are dropped, not force-fit.
Detention and casualty signals are screened against open port-state-control and marine-casualty records, combined with our own AIS-derived congestion. Updated Jun 23, 2026.
