Transport in The Faroe Islands

Transport In The Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands is served by an internal transport system based on roads, ferries, and helicopters. There are no railways.

International transport, both for passengers and freight, remains difficult due to high costs, low traffic, long distances, and weather-related difficulties, especially during the winter. Exporting domestically-produced goods is thus expensive; this limits the development of a commodity-based economy.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:

    One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
