About the Moskenes ferjekai – Bodø ferjekai crossing
The Lofoten archipelago port of Moskenes and the mainland city of Bodø are separated by approximately 48 nautical miles of the Vestfjorden. Nordland fylkeskommune, the county's public transport authority, manages this direct car ferry service, which is an integral part of Norwegian national road E10. This connection provides the primary vehicle and freight link between the southern Lofoten islands and the mainland road network south of Narvik.
Schedules and Pricing
Up to 38 sailings are scheduled each week, operating every day. The first departure is at 00:15 and the final sailing is at 23:45. Crossing times range from 3 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes. This is a public service route, so fares are set using the national AutoPASS for Ferje system, where vehicles pay based on length and foot passengers often travel without charge.
Bodø serves as a major transport hub for the region, with ferry connections continuing to the outlying islands of Røst and Værøy. Moskenes also has a separate local ferry service to Værøy. The crossing is used by a mix of commercial traffic, local residents, and tourists accessing the Lofoten islands by road.
