About the Lauvvik hurtigbåtkai – Forsand hurtigbåtkai crossing
Lauvvik has two services and they are not the same thing. This is the express-boat pier: 1.1 nautical miles to Forsand in 5 minutes, three departures a week’s worth. The car ferry to Oanes works from a different quay on a half-hourly timetable and takes vehicles; this one does neither.
Three departures, no two alike
05:55 runs Monday to Friday. 13:55 runs every day except Saturday. 16:55 runs on Fridays and Sundays. A Saturday traveller has one option; a Friday traveller has all three.
Before six in the morning
The weekday departure is early enough to be a working boat rather than a convenience, and it is the only one that suits reaching Forsand at the start of a day. The other two belong to the afternoon.
Listed to 31 August 2026
The plan on file ends with the month. Anyone looking at this route in September will need the autumn edition, which is published separately rather than as a continuation of these three sailings.
