About the Ylvingen hurtigbåtkai – Rørøy hurtigbåtkai crossing
The ports of Ylvingen and Rørøy are separated by approximately 4 nautical miles on the coast of Helgeland in northern Norway. Nordland fylkeskommune is the public operator for this short domestic crossing. The transit time is between 10 and 14 minutes, depending on the specific sailing. Eight departures are scheduled daily, with the first at 07:25 and the last at 22:00.
Local Transport Connection
This service operates as part of the regional public transport network in Nordland county. Both Ylvingen and Rørøy are islands with limited road access, making the ferry an integral link for residents. The connection facilitates daily commuting and access to services in the wider region. It functions as a public transport route rather than a tourist-focused one.
From both Rørøy and Ylvingen, onward ferry connections are available to Brønnøysund hurtigbåtkai, a key regional town. Pricing for vehicles is handled by the Norwegian AutoPASS system, which is standard for many road-ferry links in the country. Charges are based on vehicle length, while foot passengers often travel without a fare.
