Delt av sølv og blått ved skysnitt. In English: Per fess nebully argent and
azure.
Approved by the royal resolution of 23 August 1985 after a drawing bys Anne
Marie Falck. [c2j87]
As Heraldry of
the World states: "The arms show the sea and the coastline near the village,
which is characterised by large rounded boulders dating from the ice age. The
division line in the arms is symbolising these boulders."
The arms are also canting, since Trom (Þroma) means edge, rim or curb - that
the
boulders make.
