About the Drag ferjekai – Kjøpsvik ferjekai crossing
Two ferry services cross the Tysfjorden, and they are bought together. One carries E6, the national trunk road; this one carries Riksvei 827 between Drag and Kjøpsvik. The same operating contract covers both, and it requires the regular vessels here to run on electricity rather than diesel.
Nine sailings, all of them daily
Every departure runs seven days a week, from 06:50 to 23:00. There is no weekday-versus-weekend split at all, which is rare enough in Nordland to be worth noting: the calendar on this route needs no reading, only the clock.
Forty-five minutes, and why it matters
The crossing takes 45 minutes over roughly 6.8 nautical miles. That is nearly twice the E6 crossing further out, on a shorter distance — the boat is working further into the fjord, where the run between quays is longer than the map suggests.
Local traffic, not through traffic
Unlike the E6 crossing at Skarberget, this link is not on anyone’s route from one end of Norway to the other. It connects two communities on opposite shores, which is why it runs a simple daily pattern and stops before midnight. The plan runs to 31 January 2027.

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 Nordland fylkeskommune for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 45m and several sailings a day (first 06:50, last 23:00), 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?
Nordland fylkeskommune 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 Nordland fylkeskommune, 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.
