Meet Björn Jóhannsson – Vikingegaarden’s Representative Partner in Iceland

We’re proud to introduce Björn Jóhannsson as our representative partner in Iceland, a key figure with decades of experience in the maritime and harbor supply industry.

With a lifelong background in fishing, gear, and harbor infrastructure, Björn brings valuable insight and strong relationships with over 25 Icelandic ports, connections that support Vikingegaarden’s mission to expand in the North.

Trust is built over time, and earned with every project.

A Life Anchored in the Maritime World

Björn’s story begins on the east coast of Iceland, where his father ran a herring company and later operated fishing vessels. That legacy shaped Björn’s path,  from over a decade at sea as a fisherman, to more than 25 years as a sales manager in fishing gear and harbor supplies.

Working closely with ports across Iceland, Björn has developed strong relationships and deep insight into their evolving needs. From corrosion protection to fender systems, steel piles, ladders, lanterns, and lighting, he’s helped bring modern harbor solutions to the Icelandic coast for years.

Why We Work Together

We’re not just adding a name, we’re building on a long-standing connection.

Björn will act as our representative partner, supporting Vikingegaarden’s operations across Iceland while we continue working directly with ports on contracts, invoicing, and project execution.

“In this business, trust is everything. Ports need reliable solutions and real people behind them. That’s what I’m here for — to connect Vikingegaarden with the harbors I’ve known for years.”
