Port: Port of Reykjavik

Essential statistics, current year

  • Port calls and EPI score
  • Port calls:
    Port calls
    The total count of cruise ship visits to the port reported to EPI.
  • Average EPI score:
    Port performance score (EPI)
    A performance metric ranging from 0 (no emission reduction) to 100 (complete emission reduction). It assesses a cruise ship's emission reduction efforts during its stay at the port through operational measures.
  • Emissions
  • SOx emissions (tonnes):
    SOx emissions (tonnes)
    The cumulative amount of sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions cruise ships produces during their port calls.
  • SOx reduction (tonnes):
    SOx reduction (tonnes)
    The quantity of sulfur oxide (SOx) reduced from emissions due to operational measures adopted by the cruise ships during their port stay
  • NOx emissions (tonnes):
    NOx emissions (tonnes)
    The total nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions cruise ships generate while in port.
  • NOx reduction (tonnes):
    NOx reduction (tonnes)
    The volume of nitrogen oxide (NOx) remduced from emissions due to operational measures implemented by cruise ships during their time at the port.
  • CO2 emissions (tonnes):
    CO2 emissions (tonnes)
    The total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions cruise ships generate while in port.

    Faxafloahafnir / Faxaports – Port of Reykjavik, Grundartangi, Akranes and Borgarnes uses Environmental Port Index (EPI)

    EPI is a tool that allows ports to define the environmental footprint of cruise ships during a call. The goal is to establish a financial incentive system for a more environmentally friendly and sustainable operation of cruise ships and thus reduce the benefits of arriving at Associated Icelandic Ports with polluting ships.

    Cruise ships must submit data for assessment of environmental performance in port no later than 72 hours after departure. Based on that data, each ship receives an EPI score between 0 (worst) and 100 (best).

    If a ship does not submit data, it will automatically receive a score of 0. An EPI rating provides a maximum 17.5% discount on Quay dues and a maximum 75% surcharge.

    Quay dues will take on a proportional change according to the following calculation model:

    • EPI score below 30: (30 – EPI score) * 5/100

    • EPI score above 30: (30 – EPI score) / (4 * EPI score)
