About the Sandnessjøen hurtigbåtkai – Flostad hurtigbåtkai crossing
The ferry from Sandnessjøen lands at Flostad on the island of Herøy, a crossing of 9 nautical miles that takes 25 minutes. Nordland fylkeskommune operates this domestic Norwegian service. The first sailing departs at 08:25 and the final one leaves at 19:15, with six crossings scheduled every day.
Route and Operator Details
This is a short-distance car ferry integrated into the Norwegian road network. The alternative to this 25-minute sailing would be a much longer drive north via Tverlandet to connect to the separate Herøy bridge system, or using other local ferry connections. Nordland fylkeskommune is the public transport authority responsible for the service.
Pricing is determined by the standard AutoPASS system used for many Norwegian road ferries, which calculates fares based on vehicle length. Foot passengers often travel free on these types of routes. From Sandnessjøen, other routes connect to Nesna and Bjørn, while Flostad has onward fast ferry connections to Brasøy and Sandvær.
