Fuglafjørður - the Pelagic Center in the North Atlantic

Vónin’s pelagic branch and headquarter is based in one of the busiest harbours in the Faroe Islands, the port of Fuglafjørður.
When mentioning the pelagic fishery in the North Atlantic Ocean the location must be considered to be extremely central.
The first thing you see on starboard when entering the bay by ship is Vónin’s headquarters. Here production and service of pelagic fishing gear is made on a daily basis by experienced trawl specialists. Our warehouse alos carries a full inventory of accessories that are essential on any fishing vessel.
The second thing shows up is the heavy fuel bunker station and the pelagic fish plant Pelagos as well as Bergfrost’s BIP station with its huge coldstorage tunnels located in the mountainside behind it.
After this, you see the huge fish meal and fish feed factory Havsbrún, which has a production capacity of more than 1100 tonnes per day.
Every year, large quantities of pelagic fish such as herring, mackerel, blue whiting, capelin and boar fish are discharged in
Fuglafjørður. The vessels that discharge at Fuglafjørður come from all our surrounding countries, Russia, Norway, Denmark, Scotland, Shetland, Ireland, Iceland and of course our local fleet.
At the bottom of the quay Vónin’s purse seine net loft is located only a few feet from the quay side, making it possible for vessels to on- & offload their equipment directly into the net loft and net storage.
Many other services such as hydraulics, electrics, divers, provisions, renovation, wasteoil etc. are available in the town of Fuglafjørður. Fuglafjørður is also just an hours’ drive away from the capital Tórshavn.
Vónin offers a 24/7 standby service and you can always reach us by calling tel. [phone]
