The network

Sølvøy is the hub. Everything else is one hop away.

Every route touches Sølvøy harbour, where the ferries charge between crossings. The dots on the map move with the timetable, so you can see roughly where each vessel is right now.

The fleet

Three electric ferries, charged between crossings.

Each vessel plugs into shore power at Sølvøy berth A and takes on enough charge for the next round trip while passengers board. Nothing idles, nothing burns.

Weather and cancellations

We sail in most weather. Here is what stops us, and what happens then.

Conditions come from the Sølvøy harbour mast and the Utvær buoy, read every ten minutes. The captain makes the final call, always before the timetable says the ferry should leave.
