About the Nesvik ferjekai – Hjelmeland ferjekai crossing
Thirty-eight of the forty-three departures run every day, from 00:20 to 23:40. Three calendars in total, which on a Norwegian road ferry counts as simple.
The night stays open
Twenty past midnight, and then a gap until the early hours. The Rv13 crosses the Jøsenfjord here, and a road crossing does not close because the clock says so.
Thirteen minutes over 1.6 nautical miles
Seven knots. Hjelmeland is the mainland side with the road onward into Ryfylke; Nesvik faces it. The express-boat quay at Nesvik is a separate landing with one sailing a week.
2 August to 31 December 2026
Five sailings sit outside the daily group: a weekday 04:40 and four Monday-to-Saturday boats between 05:20 and 07:00. Everything else is the standing service.

Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings run daily, and frequency can change between the summer and winter seasons. The timetable above shows the latest published departures — confirm with the operator for off-season dates.
Can I take a car on this ferry?
Norled AS does not list vehicle space on this service — plan to travel as a foot passenger. If you need to bring a car, check with the operator for alternative crossings.
Can I take a pet on this ferry?
Most ferry operators allow pets on this route, usually in a carrier, on deck or in designated pet areas or cabins, and registered assistance dogs travel free. Rules and any fees vary by operator and vessel — check with Norled AS, so declare your pet when booking.
What's the luggage allowance?
Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
