About the Heng hurtigbåtkai – Tau ferjekai crossing
13:10 on Mondays, and no other departure in the week. The boat covers 2.4 nautical miles in 20 minutes in the Ryfylke fjords.
Twenty minutes for two miles
Seven knots is slow for an express craft, which here means calls between the endpoints. The listing is one segment of a longer Monday run rather than a crossing in its own right.
A single weekly sailing
There is no fallback. Missing the Monday boat costs a week, and the return has to be found on a different route from Tau — a quay served by several Ryfylke connections.
Until 3 January 2027
The departure is listed to that date. Six days out of seven this pairing carries nothing at all.

- Mobile tickets (Kolumbus app)
