The patrol vessel Freyja arrived in Iceland late in the year 2021, replacing the patrol vessel Týr, which had performed its duty off the coast of Iceland since 1975. Freyja is to a large extent comparable to the patrol vessel Þór in terms of size and facilities, but has greater towing capacity. Freyja has therefore been compared to a solid workhorse. The Coast Guard and the Ministry of Justice jointly decided that the home port of the patrol ship Freyja would be Siglufjörður in northern Iceland. With increased maritime traffic in the Arctic, the number of large cargo and oil tankers along the east and north coasts of Iceland increases. A growing number of cruise ship traffic is also to be expected, and with it threats posed to the ecosystem in the event of danger. In these events, every minute is critical. With Þór in Reykjavík and Freyja in Siglufjörður, the Coast Guard's response capacity around the country has been increased and ensuring the safety of seafarers and resources at sea. With the arrival of Freyja, the Coast Guard has two very powerful patrol vessels in its fleet, specially equipped to carry out law enforcement, search and rescue in the demanding sea around Iceland.
