About the Barmsund kai – Barmen kai crossing
Eight-tenths of a nautical mile, seven minutes, 72 sailings a week — eighteen departures a day between 06:35 and 21:40, on six day patterns.
Six separate calendars on a seven-minute crossing is a striking ratio. The service is being fitted around individual needs rather than run to a repeating clock.
Barmen is a small island off Selje in Nordfjord, on the stretch of coast below the Stad peninsula, and Barmsund is the mainland quay opposite. Fewer than a hundred people live on the island. Skyss lists the crossing in the county timetable, which is what distinguishes it from the private arrangements that serve many islands this size.

Frequently asked questions
When's the first ferry of the day?
The first sailing leaves at 06:35.
How often does the ferry run?
18 sailings a day on this route.
Does this ferry cross an international border?

How do I get back from Barmen?
Check the Barmen to Barmsund ferry for return times.
Who operates the service?

How long is the ferry ride?
Around 7m, depending on sea conditions.
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. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Skyss for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 7m and several sailings a day (first 06:35, last 21:40), 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.
