Blekingetrafiken

Blekingetrafiken is the public transport authority for Blekinge, the small maritime county on Sweden's south-eastern Baltic coast. Beyond its buses and regional trains, it runs the passenger boats that reach the islands of the Blekinge archipelago — and, like the rest of the network, they carry an ordinary zoned ticket.

Archipelago boats from Karlskrona to Hanö

The hub is Karlskrona, a UNESCO World Heritage naval city built across a cluster of islands, where small boats hop between the city quays — Fisktorget, Handelshamnen and the Dragsö and Marinmuseum jetties — before heading out into the archipelago. One service runs up the idyllic Nättrabyån river aboard the rebuilt steamboat M/F Axel. Further west, boats from the Karlshamn area reach the holiday islands of Tärnö and Tjärö, while from Nogersund it is a 25-minute crossing to Hanö, a windswept island that draws day-trippers year-round.

One ticket, no booking

The boats are part of Blekingetrafiken's integrated network, so a single ticket, day pass or period pass — bought in the app or with a travel card — covers boat, bus and train alike, priced by zone. In summer the archipelago services run at their fullest, turning a simple commuter ticket into the key to a day among the islands.
