VSV Iceland

We at VSV are attending the Qingdao International Seafood Expo at the Hongdao International Convention and Expo Center, which opened today in China. "Our goal is to strengthen existing partnerships in Asia, meet with key clients attending the expo, and introduce our premium seafood products to interested buyers," shares Björn Matthíasson, COO of VSV Seafood Iceland, who is currently at the event. Interest in Icelandic seafood remains high, and China stands out as one of the fastest-growing markets, with consumption now reaching over 34 kg per capita. As the world’s second-largest importer of seafood, China is a critical market for Icelandic capelin and roe. However, uncertainties about the quota for the upcoming season pose challenges. Some Qingdao Internations Seafood Expo Highlights - 13 exhibition halls at the Hongdao International Convention and Expo Center in Qingdao - 48,000 m² of exhibition space - 1,680 companies from 51 countries presenting their products - Over 40,000 visitors from more than 120 countries #VSVIceland #TasteTheWild #TasteTheTrust

Earlier this September, MATEY Seafood Festival was held in Vestmannaeyjar. The festival aims to raise awareness of the cultural heritage and the diverse seafood that is produced on our Island and brings together local restaurants, fish producers and international culinary experts. We at VSV are proud to have played a central role in this year's MATEY Seafood Festival. At VSV, we were honored to have provided a variety of top-quality seafood, from salted fish to fresh fillets, ensuring that festival guests enjoyed the finest dishes. Our involvement extended beyond food as we welcomed culinary students from Southern Europe, along with international journalists, to showcase our operations and the high standards of Icelandic fish processing. The MATEY festival featured an all-female lineup of guest chefs from Mexico, the UK, and Bolivia, each of whom worked closely with local restaurants to create exceptional seafood experiences. This level of collaboration, both locally and internationally, demonstrates the strength of our community and the quality of seafood Vestmannaeyjar is known for. We look forward to continuing our commitment to promoting sustainable seafood and building on the success of events like MATEY, which showcase the best of what Vestmannaeyjar has to offer.

We are Modernizing Maritime Safety We at VSV are excited to announce the rollout of the Öldu safety management system on board all of our vessels.
