About the Ropeid hurtigbåtkai – Marvik hurtigbåtkai crossing
Marvik is reached from Ropeid via a short car ferry crossing that completes the final leg of Norwegian County Road 517 (Fv517). The 6-nautical-mile route across the Sandsfjorden is managed by Kolumbus. Two sailings are scheduled each weekday, with the first at 07:20 and the final departure at 14:30. This crossing is a domestic service within Norway.
Timetables and Crossing Duration
Kolumbus lists two different crossing times for the route. The fastest journey takes just 10 minutes, while the alternative sailing is scheduled to take 15 minutes. Services operate from Monday to Friday only, with no sailings currently timetabled for Saturdays or Sundays. Both Ropeid and Marvik also serve as stops for separate passenger-only fast ferry (hurtigbåt) services connecting to Sand and other local wharves.
Fares and Alternatives
Pricing for vehicles is determined by the standard Norwegian AutoPASS for ferries system, which bases the fare on vehicle length. Without the ferry, the road journey between the two ferry quays requires a significant detour. Driving around the Sandsfjorden via Sand and the Sandsfjord Bridge (part of National Road 13) covers a distance of approximately 45 kilometres.
