15th August 2024
The Directorate of Fisheries draws attention to the fact that all special fishing permits must be applied for separately for each fishing year. Current permits expire on August 31 st.
Applications are made through the digital application system in cooperation with Ísland.is.
It will no longer be possible to apply for fishing permits through Uggi, but if parties encounter problems with the application process, you can get more detailed information by sending an email to fiskistofa@fiskistofa.is.
The following permits are the ones that need to be applied for separately:

* An application for a star-marked permits must be accompanied by a processing agreement or an equivalent statement in the case of own processing. In both cases, confirmation from MAST must be included that the processing in question has a valid processing permit from MAST.
