About the Nedstrand hurtigbåtkai – Vormestrand hurtigbåtkai crossing
Twenty-five to one on a Friday, and nothing on the other six days. One sailing a week covering 4.7 nautical miles in 15 minutes.
Nineteen knots in Ryfylke
Express-boat speed on a short crossing, which points to a direct run rather than a chain of calls. Nedstrand is a village on the north shore of the Boknafjord with a road to it; Vormestrand is a smaller landing further along.
Midday, once a week
Half past twelve suits neither a commute nor an evening return. On a weekly service the hour follows the boat’s route rather than a passenger’s day.
