About the Barmen kai – Barmsund kai crossing
Nineteen departures leave the island each day against eighteen arriving, and they start twenty minutes earlier — 06:15 against 06:35 — finishing at 21:20. Seventy-two sailings a week either way.
The extra departure and the earlier start are the island's requirement, not the mainland's: someone has to get off Barmen before the day begins on the other side.
Seven minutes of water separates the two quays. Selje, the municipality, is best known for the ruined monastery on Selja island a few kilometres north, built around the cave of Saint Sunniva — this coast has been crossed by small boats on fixed errands for a very long time.

Is this a domestic or international route?

How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price.

A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 7m and several sailings a day (first 06:15, last 21:20), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings run daily, and frequency can change between the summer and winter seasons. The timetable above shows the latest published departures — confirm with the operator for off-season dates.
Can I take a car on this ferry?
Skyss does not list vehicle space on this service — plan to travel as a foot passenger. If you need to bring a car, check with the operator for alternative crossings.
Can I take a pet on this ferry?
Most ferry operators allow pets on this route, usually in a carrier, on deck or in designated pet areas or cabins, and registered assistance dogs travel free. Rules and any fees vary by operator and vessel — check with Skyss, so declare your pet when booking.
What's the luggage allowance?
Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
