The Reykjavík District Court has dismissed a tort case brought by Alcoa Fjarðaál against Eimskip , Eimskip Ísland, Samskip and Samskip Holding. The case was the second legal action filed by Alcoa concerning the same underlying matter. In May 2025, Alcoa suspended its original lawsuit against Eimskip and agreed to pay the associated litigation costs. The company subsequently filed a new case in December 2025, seeking recognition of liability for damages without specifying a compensation amount. The Reykjavík District Court has now dismissed that claim. Eimskip stated that it considered the allegations to be without merit and maintained that the legal requirements necessary to establish liability under tort law had not been met. The company also argued that the alleged losses claimed by Alcoa were not supported by established documentation and therefore did not provide a valid basis for compensation. The ruling marks the latest development in the long-running legal dispute involving Iceland’s aluminium producer and the shipping companies.
