Operators at Skipavik
Statens vegvesen: A national road ferry. Payment runs through the AutoPASS tariff regulation, administered on behalf of the Ministry of Transport — you pay for the vehicle and passengers travel free.
Norled AS: Norled runs 80 vessels under contract for transport authorities rather than on its own account, so fares and tickets follow whichever authority commissions the service. It is raising the share of low- and zero-emission vessels in its fleet from 4 percent in 2019 to 55 percent by 2030.
