About the Steilene – Ommen crossing
0.8 nautical miles in 3 minutes. Sixteen knots between two small islands in the inner Oslofjord — the crossing is over before the wake has straightened out.
10:24, and then it depends
That sailing runs every day. 15:54 is added at weekends and 17:56 on Fridays. From Monday to Thursday the mid-morning boat is the only one there is.
Friday has the latest sailing of the week
Five to six in the evening, and nothing on any other day comes close to it. On an island with no shop and no road, the difference between a 15:54 and a 17:56 is the difference between an afternoon and an evening.
7 August to 4 October 2026
Eight weeks, and then nothing listed. Steilene also connects to Fjellstrand on the mainland shore, on the same short season.
