The crossing to the island of Jøa from the mainland at Abelvær takes between 25 and 30 minutes, depending on the specific departure.

Abelvær–Jøa Route Details
This is a short, functional link across the Folda fjord, connecting Jøa into the wider road network. The alternative for vehicle traffic would involve significantly longer ferry journeys via other islands. Pricing is integrated into the Norwegian AutoPASS system, where vehicles are charged based on length. Foot passengers often travel without charge on these types of services.
From the port at Abelvær, a separate fast ferry service connects to Rørvik. The port on Jøa also has connections to Namsos and Sør-Gjæslingan, providing further passenger-only links within the Nærøysund archipelago. All services on this particular vehicle crossing are operated by AtB.
