About the Ørnes hurtigbåtkai – Meløysund hurtigbåtkai crossing
23:20 on Fridays, and nothing on any other day. The crossing covers 4.1 nautical miles in 10 minutes — a short hop timetabled for the very end of the week.
The last movement of the week
A sailing this late on a Friday is a closing service: people arriving on connections from elsewhere, or finishing work too late for anything earlier. It is not a travel option so much as a safety net.
Ten minutes at twenty-five knots
Four miles in ten minutes is brisk. On a single weekly sailing the speed matters mostly to the vessel’s rotation — it lets one boat fit this call in alongside others the same night.
Current plan
The departure is listed to 29 January 2027. The Bolga service into the same quay runs its own two-day timetable.
