The IcelandUAE freight market is projected to grow significantly by 2023. The UAE is increasingly becoming more attractive to European exporters due to its proximity to the European markets, and Iceland is becoming a major exporter to the UAE thanks to its vast resources of fish, aluminum and renewable energy.
