About
About Melvika kai
Melvika is served by four sailings between 16:50 and 19:30, fifty to eighty-three minutes to Risøy and Vengsøy. The long crossing times reflect a boat working a rotation between scattered islands rather than running a direct route. Svipper operates it in the Troms county network. Services this thin exist because the alternative for the residents is nothing at all — the county's obligation is to provide a link, not a convenient one. Vengsøy at the far end of the rotation has a small permanent community and a quay that the same boat serves on alternate runs. Vengsøy has a quay served by the same boat and a small resident community on the island's sheltered side.
