About the Hamnsund hurtigbåtkai – Ålesund hurtigbåtkai Skateflukaia crossing
Ten to four, Monday to Friday. One departure a day into Skateflukaia, Ålesund’s express-boat quay, covering 4.8 nautical miles in 18 minutes.
Sixteen knots down the Sula channel
Hamnsund lies in Haram, north-east of the city. The boat is quicker than the road for this stretch, which crosses several islands before it reaches the mainland approach.
Skateflukaia is not the ferry terminal
Ålesund has separate quays for express boats and car ferries. Arriving at Skateflukaia puts you in the town centre on foot; the car ferry landings are elsewhere and serve different routes.
