Removals from Portsmouth to Iceland

Portsmouth to Iceland is a regular route on our European schedule. Collection from any PO1-PO6 postcode; transit 14-25 days door-to-door via Immingham/Rotterdam sea freight (Eimskip weekly sailing); delivery into Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður, Akureyri and beyond.

Iceland moves are sea-freight only — no van-corridor exists. Every consignment is a 20ft or 40ft container loaded at our Oxfordshire base, trucked to Immingham or Rotterdam and shipped by Eimskip on the weekly Reykjavík rotation.

The Eimskip Green Line rotation calls Reykjavík roughly weekly from Rotterdam and Immingham. Missed cut-off = 7 days extra transit, so we book the container well ahead and load with 5 clear working days before sailing.

Reykjavík delivery is straightforward once cleared — Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður and Garðabær are the main suburbs. Akureyri and rural Iceland add domestic trucking cost we itemise separately.

Iceland is EEA but not EU — Icelandic Tolla customs declaration required; Búferlaflutningur (Transfer of Residence) relief available for new Icelandic residents on used goods owned over 12 months.

Paperwork we prepare and submit as part of every Portsmouth to Iceland move: valued inventory in english (icelandic translation not required); icelandic kennitala (personal id) or residence permit; passport copy; sea waybill and tolla customs declaration; proof of uk ownership for búferlaflutningur relief.

Indicative pricing for a Portsmouth to Iceland move: £3,200 (shared 20ft container to Reykjavík) up to £9,500+ (sole-use 40ft container). Every quote is fixed in writing after a survey — no day-of surprises.

Portsmouth City Council permit suspensions are quick — 5-10 working days. We factor collection access into the fixed price so the loading day runs on schedule.
