Day Four on MS Trollfjord ...
Later on in the afternoon we stopped briefly at Øksfjord. We were there from 15:30 to 15:45, although we left a bit late as the loading took longer than they expected. There were 20 odd pallets of what looked like fish, and something called Polar Feed. One of the pallets broke.
Øksfjord (Northern Sami: Ákšovuotna) is the administrative centre of the municipality of Loppa in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located at the mouth of the Øksfjorden on the mainland, about 20 kilometres northwest of Øksfjordbotn, a village at the other end of the Øksfjorden.
The village of Øksfjord was historically an important regional fishing village that included a fish processing factory and fish oil factory. The factories have been closed since the 1980s, but since then some fish farms have been in use. Øksfjord Church is located in this village and it is the main church for the municipality.
Øksfjord is visited by the Hurtigruten boat daily, stopping here between stops at Skjervøy and Hammerfest. Since most of Loppa municipality is inaccessible by car, Øksfjord is a major transportation hub with regular car ferry connections to the Nuvsvåg, Bergsfjord, and Sør-Tverrfjord areas. There is also a regular ferry connection from Øksfjord to the village of Hasvik on the neighbouring island of Sørøya in Hasvik municipality.
The village has one cafe and one pub.
