About the Skjervøy kai – Nikkeby crossing
Two day patterns and three weekly sailings: Sunday on one, Tuesday-and-Thursday on the other. Four days have nothing.
Two departures, 07:35 and 16:55, cover 4.2 nautical miles in ten to fifteen minutes — one in the morning, one in the late afternoon, with a nine-hour gap between them.
Nikkeby is on Laukøya in the Skjervøy island group, northern Troms, with a scattering of houses and no road. Skjervøy is the town: a fishing port of a couple of thousand people that also serves as a call for the coastal steamer. Three sailings a week is the island's whole scheduled connection to it. Skjervøy's harbour is ice-free year-round, which is why a fishing fleet has worked from it since the eighteenth century despite the latitude.
