Hi there llama_non

"skip í siglingum" opposes that ship not in sailings:
Says only that the ship is active now. NB. It could be anchoring
outside Reykjavík. Or it could be in the Harbour.

He owns also Merchant ship in operation [in (active) sailings.

Profit rather that place.

Thanks Uoden

I was able [seaman], visiting continents.

If the "sigg" is little say siggll> sigl refers probably to sail than
oar. þú sigl'ir: S'egl dregur áfram.
