About the Bakken hurtigbåtkai – Songesand hurtigbåtkai crossing
Every departure on this route is at twenty-five past: 06:25, 14:25, 17:25. The hours are eight apart and then three; the minute never moves.
Three sailings, three different weeks
The 06:25 is Monday to Friday, the 14:25 runs every day except Saturday, and the 17:25 only on Fridays and Sundays. Saturday ends up with nothing at all and Sunday with two.
Five minutes over a nautical mile
Songesand sits on the north side of the Lysefjord, reached by a road that ends there. Bakken is the quay across the water, and twelve knots covers the gap.
A Lysefjord summer route
Nothing on this pairing is timetabled for September. Lysefjord express services contract sharply once the season closes, and the autumn arrangement is issued as a separate plan rather than a reduction of this one.
