About the Sandnessjøen ferjekai – Løkta ferjekai crossing
On Saturdays there are boats at 13:30 and 13:40. Ten minutes apart, on a crossing that takes 45 minutes — two vessels, or one following the other round a longer loop.
Friday to Sunday, and nothing else
The 13:40 and the 18:15 both run Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The 13:30 is Saturday alone. Monday to Thursday this pairing carries no service at all.
7.2 nautical miles in three quarters of an hour
Under ten knots across the Helgeland water from Sandnessjøen out to Løkta, an island in Dønna with no bridge. The pace suggests a call somewhere between the two.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs this ferry crossing?
Nordland fylkeskommune.
What time is the last sailing?
Sailings run from 13:30 to 18:15.
Is this a domestic or international route?
Domestic — the whole crossing stays within Norway.

How long, roughly, is the crossing?
About 45m under normal conditions.
How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Nordland fylkeskommune for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 45m and several sailings a day (first 13:30, last 18:15), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings operate on selected days, 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?
Nordland fylkeskommune 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 Nordland fylkeskommune, 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.
