About the Bolga ferjekai – Meløysund ferjekai crossing
Three departures take fifty minutes and one takes fifty-five. The slow one is the 05:35, which runs on Mondays and Thursdays; the others are 13:20 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 19:10 on Thursdays, and 13:10 on Sundays.
Thursday carries three of the four
That concentration is unusual. On a Thursday the route offers a morning, an afternoon and an evening sailing; on a Tuesday, Friday or Saturday it offers none at all.
Eight miles, fifty minutes
The crossing covers 7.7 nautical miles from the island of Bolga to Meløysund on the Nordland mainland. The pace points to calls between the endpoints rather than a direct run.
Current plan
