About the Drag hurtigbåtkai – Musken hurtigbåtkai crossing
The Norwegian ports of Drag and Musken face each other across approximately 10 nautical miles of the Tysfjorden. This domestic route is a public service operated by Nordland fylkeskommune, the county municipality, forming a critical local transport link in northern Norway. The crossing takes between 35 and 40 minutes.
Timetable and Operators
Nordland fylkeskommune provides seven sailings on this route every day. The first departure from Drag is scheduled for 07:25, with the final sailing of the day at 18:55. This regular schedule supports the daily transit needs of the small, roadless community at Musken, which relies entirely on this ferry for access to the wider road network at Drag.
Fares and Connections
Fares are set according to Norway's AutoPASS system for road ferries, where vehicles are charged based on length. From its pier at Drag, this service is part of a local network of fast ferry (hurtigbåt) connections that also reach Kjerrvika, Kjøpsvik, and Storå. The boat from Musken also continues onward to Hellmobotn, further into the fjord.
