The passenger and freight ferry would head to Seydisfjordur – a town on Iceland’s east coast.

Bob Sanguinetti, chief executive of the Port of Aberdeen, said: “A regular service between Aberdeen and Iceland would certainly be of interest to the port.”

So far, one ferry operator has shown interest in the route.

In the future, there could also be a stop in Orkney.

Currently, there are no direct international passenger ferry services from Scotland, so if this route were to go ahead it would be the first.

It is unclear how long the ferry journey would take.

The picturesque town of Seydisfjordur sits in the innermost point of a fjord that has the same name.

To get to the town, visitors drive along Route 93 which heads over the Fjarðarheiði mountain pass.

The town is known for its wooden buildings dating back to the 19th and early 20th century as well.

Currently, the easiest way to visit Iceland from the UK is by flying, which takes around three hours and costs from £42 return.

Earlier this year, Chloe gushed over her ‘soulmate’ boyfriend as she opened up about marriage, kids and if he would join the Geordie Shore cast.

Talking to The Sun, Chloe said of Alex: “He is definitely, definitely the person that I want to be with for the rest of my life. I’ve never felt like this ever about someone.

“I thought that I knew what love was before but this is like true love.

“I know it’s a bit cringe to say true love but I just know that this is 100% my person. I’ve planned my full life with this person and I’ve never done that with anyone.”

Chloe added that she is moving in with her beau and would “love” to get married and have children one day.

Back in May Chloe sparked speculation that she had a secret wedding after her boyfriend called her his ‘wife’ in a sweet gesture.

In a snap Chloe was seen holding up a brown envelope.

Scrawled on the back of the envelope were the words: “I [heart] you my wife.”

Chloe wrote over the top of the photo, sharing: “Woke up to this today,” followed by three emojis: a love heart and a teary-eyed face.

The star joined the cast of Geordie Shore in 2015.

Chloe has dated Sam Gowland, Jon Clark, Marty McKenna and Johnny Wilbo in the past.
