Timetables and Fares
This route has a consistent daily schedule with departures timed closely together in the morning. This differs from the other local services from Valøy, which connect to Mesøy, Støtt, and Teksmona. The crossing is part of the Norwegian AutoPASS road-ferry system, where vehicle fares are based on length.
The alternative to this short crossing would be a significant road detour around the fjord system. The 2-minute sailing represents a substantial time saving. Ørnes serves as a larger hub port, with onward connections to Grønnøy, Meløysund, Sandvik, and additional services to Mesøy and Støtt.
