About the Nedgården fergeleie – Skjærhalden fergeleie crossing
Every loop in the Hvaler network ends here. With 14 departures — more than any other leg — this is where the morning chain, the midday circuit and the evening one all empty out at Skjærhalden. First boat 05.40, last 22.55.
Three different journeys arrive on the same leg
The 05.40, 06.25 and 07.50 are the tail of the early run that started at Skjærhalden and came back via Herføl. The 10.20 closes the midday circuit through Sanne, Gravningsund and Makø. The 15.25 and 18.45 finish that circuit run the other way round. Same fifteen minutes of water, three unrelated itineraries behind it.
Reading the gaps
Departures cluster before nine and after five, with long holes at 11.00 and again mid-afternoon — the boat is elsewhere in the archipelago then, not idle. If your sailing is one of the "b" departures, it happens only because someone booked it.
Fares
Free for foot passengers year-round. Vehicles are charged from 23 March 2026, from NOK 325 for a car under six metres. Run for Østfold kollektivtrafikk by Norled.
