Route details
The crossing is part of Norway's national road network, and fares are determined by the AutoPASS system, which charges vehicles based on length. Foot passengers often travel without charge on these state-subsidised routes. The travel time can vary by five minutes depending on the specific vessel or conditions. This direct link across the Alstenfjorden provides the only public transport connection between the two islands.
For onward travel, both ports offer connections to the mainland. From Løkta, a separate Nordland fylkeskommune service sails to Sandnessjøen ferjekai. Likewise, from Bjørn ferjekai Dønna, an alternative route also reaches Sandnessjøen, providing a different path to the regional road network.
