About the Risøy kaiMelvika kai crossing

Melvika, on the Norwegian island of Kvaløya, is reached from Risøy via a 50-minute ferry crossing. Svipper operates this domestic service, which covers a distance of approximately 4 nautical miles. The route is an alternative to a much longer road journey involving the Kvalsund Bridge to the mainland and then the Sandnessund Bridge back onto Kvaløya.

Two sailings are scheduled on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The first departure is at 16:50 and the last is at 18:35. Pricing is determined by the Norwegian AutoPASS system for road ferries. From Melvika, a separate ferry service connects to Vengsøy ferjekai.
