“This is Fuglafjørður, a port town that serves as a critical node in the fish industry of a large region in the northeast Atlantic,” we’re told in a new 20-minute documentary produced by Tyril & Olsen, the publisher of this news site.
“Focused on primary production, manufacturing and supporting services and technologies, Fuglafjørður-based businesses, combined, generate revenues of about 800 million EUR each year, or well over half of the total export value of the tiny but highly productive Faroe Islands,” the video adds.
Entitled ‘Fuglafjørður: A World-leading Fish Industry Hub’, the film continues: “Fuglafjørður also has the country’s most jobs per capita, at some of the highest average wages, and its industry is the country’s largest consumer of energy. Of all Faroese ports, the Port of Fuglafjørður has the highest throughput in tonnage, about half a million tonnes per year.”
