About the Aker bryggeHovedøya crossing

Aker and Hovedøya are separated by approximately 1 nautical mile across the inner Oslofjord. This short domestic route in Norway is operated by Ruter, which provides a frequent service taking between 6 and 8 minutes. Foot passengers using this crossing often travel free of charge, while vehicles are priced according to length under the Norwegian AutoPASS system.

Timetable and Operators

Ruter schedules up to 54 sailings every day of the week. The service runs extensively throughout the day, with the first departure from Aker at 00:20 and the final crossing at 23:10. This high frequency makes the connection a core part of the local public transport network within Oslo's harbor area.

The ferry from Aker is one component of a wider local network. From the same terminal, other Ruter services connect to Fornebu, Gressholmen, Lindøya øst, Nesoddtangen, Slemmestad brygge, and Vollen. Hovedøya itself has onward connections to Aker brygge and Lindøya øst, integrating the island into the city's transport system.
