Paying for this boat
How fares work
Per person
Every passenger needs a ticket — buy it in the operator's app, or on board where card payment is offered.
No AutoPASS
This is a passenger-only boat — there is no car deck.
AtB: AtB contracts the service while the operator owns the vessel and employs the crew. Five shipping companies work the water in Trøndelag, each on its own stretch of coast — so the company sailing your crossing depends on where you are.
