About the Skarberget ferjekai – Bognes ferjekai crossing
This is one of the last places where Norway’s main north–south highway still floats. E6 runs the length of the country, and at the Tysfjorden it simply stops at a quay. There is no bridge, no tunnel, and no road around the fjord. The only way past without boarding is to leave Norway altogether and drive through Sweden.
Twenty-seven sailings, the first at 00:40
Because it carries a trunk road rather than local traffic, the service runs close to round the clock: 27 departures a day, from 00:40 to 23:20, on all seven days with no separate weekend timetable at all. The passage is scheduled at 25 minutes over roughly four nautical miles of open fjord.
Electric by contract
The operating contract covering the Tysfjorden takes in both this E6 link and the Drag–Kjøpsvik service on Riksvei 827, and it requires the regular ferries here to run on electricity rather than diesel.
Bognes is a junction, not a destination
Two different ferry services use Bognes, and it is worth not confusing them. The Bognes to Lødingen crossing is a separate boat on a separate timetable, running towards Vesterålen and Lofoten. It is not sold as a through connection with this one, and the two are not timed to meet — missing one does not hold the other.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Foot passengers travel free on ferries
- AutoPASS & FerryPay ferry payment
- No reservation — queue at the quay
- Tickets in the Reis app
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.

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 25m and several sailings a day (first 00:40, last 23:20), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings run daily, 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.
