About the Hjelmeland ferjekai – Nesvik ferjekai crossing
Nesvik is reached from Hjelmeland via a Norled AS ferry that completes the crossing in just 12 to 13 minutes. This domestic Norwegian route covers a distance of approximately two nautical miles across the Jøsenfjorden. With up to 45 sailings scheduled every day, this is a high-frequency link integrated into the local road network.
Timetable and Operator Details
The service operates seven days a week, providing a continuous connection. The first departure from Hjelmeland is scheduled for 00:00, with the final sailing of the day at 23:20. Norled AS is the sole operator on this route. This short crossing is a fundamental component of Norwegian National Road 13 (Ryfylkevegen), allowing drivers to bypass the significant detour required to drive around the fjord system.

Pricing for the crossing falls under the national AutoPASS for ferje system, where vehicle fares are determined by length.
