Sildarvinnslan landed 800 tonnes of herring at its processing plant in Neskaupstadur after a fishing trip reported on October 22, 2026. The latest catch adds an operating marker for Sildarvinnslan stock as the company works through a variable herring season, according to Sildarvinnslan.

Three events shape the season

The recent operating picture developed through three dated events. On October 7, 2026, Sildarvinnslan received an offer of NOK 42.00 million for the fishing vessel Bjarni Olafsson, with the ship to be sold without quota, as Austurfrett reported. On October 13, 2026, the company's chief executive discussed a proposed capelin catch of more than 105,000 tonnes and the prospects for a 2028 quota in comments carried by RUV. The October 22 landing then brought 800 tonnes of herring ashore.

What does 21,200 tonnes mean?

The scale of the season is clearer in the October 20 company update. The plant had received 21,200 tonnes of herring, including 14,800 tonnes of Norwegian-Icelandic spring-spawning herring and 6,400 tonnes of Icelandic summer-spawning herring. Production included 5,400 tonnes of whole frozen herring, 4,300 tonnes of split fillets and 850 tonnes of fillets, according to Sildarvinnslan. More than 9,000 tonnes remained to be caught and processed at that point, making catch consistency important for the operating result.
