About the Tjøtta ferjekai – Forvik ferjekai crossing

Tjøtta and Forvik are separated by approximately 7 nautical miles of water on the Helgeland coast of northern Norway. This domestic Norwegian sea link is operated by Nordland fylkeskommune. The crossing takes between 50 and 55 minutes to complete. A total of 13 sailings are scheduled every day.

Timetable and Pricing

Departures from Tjøtta begin at 08:50 and the last sailing of the day is at 19:35. Pricing is determined by the Norwegian AutoPASS system, which primarily charges for vehicles based on their length. Foot passengers often travel without charge on these state-supported routes. This service is part of a complex local network connecting communities along the coast.

The route forms a critical part of Norwegian County Road 17 (Fv17), also known as the Kystriksveien coastal route. Tjøtta itself is a hub port, with other Nordland fylkeskommune ferries connecting to Igerøy, Mindland, and Tro. Similarly, Forvik has ferry connections to Stokkasjøen and Vågsodden, integrating the crossing into the wider regional transport system.
