About the Sandland kai – Øksfjord hurtigbåtkai crossing
Three sailings a week, split across two sheets: Thursday on one, Wednesday-and-Friday on the other. The remaining four days carry nothing.
Two sailings, at 05:30 and 07:50, cover 15.1 nautical miles in 50 to 55 minutes. Both are early — there is nothing after eight in the morning.
Sandland is a small settlement on Loppa's coast in western Finnmark, and Øksfjord is the municipal centre. Loppa has fewer than nine hundred residents spread along a coast with almost no connecting roads; a boat that leaves at half past five is the day's only chance to reach an office, a clinic or a shop and return. Øksfjord is also where the car ferry to Sørøya runs from, so the two services together are the district's whole public transport.
