About
About Jelsa ferjekai
Jelsa runs to Foldøy in twenty minutes, with four sailings between 08:05 and 18:55, operated by Kolumbus. The quay is on the Ryfylke coast north-east of Stavanger, in a landscape of narrow fjord arms and small farms. Four departures a day is a lifeline schedule: the island communities served have small permanent populations, and the ferry is written into the county transport plan rather than run commercially. Ryfylke's fjords were opened to road traffic by the Ryfast tunnels in 2020, which reduced ferry demand across the district but did not remove it. Foldøy is a small island in the Ryfylke fjords, and the crossing is one of several linking the district's scattered settlements.
