Frequently asked questions

The most asked questions from our passengers.

How long can I use an old ferry card / value card?

Old value cards / holiday cards can no longer be used.
To get a discount as a former, you now have to sign an AutoPass ferry agreement. Read more about this at https://www.autopassferje.no/?lang=en

How do I buy a ticket?

Tickets can be bought directly at ticket carriers on board, at the dock, or in the ticket booth.

You can pay in cash, or use a bank- or holiday card.

I'm a professional driver and driver of thermal transport. Can the cooling system be on during ferry crossing?

For safety and special fire hazards, all combustion engines installed in the motor vehicle or trailers must be stopped during transit. However, in special cases, shipowners may allow other combustion engines than propulsion engines to pass. If you need to have cooling units in progress, we request that you contact the ferry before scheduled departure. Special positioning rules on the ferry deck are valid, and the driver must carry out continuous surveillance of the ferry boat during transit.

I am handicapped and have trouble finding out, what do I do?

Please keep the crew informed of this before you board, and we will try to find a good location adapted to your needs. If we are aware of this need, we will try to help you the best way.

Can the car have the engine running during ferry crossing?

No. For safety reasons and special fire hazards, the propulsion engine must always be stopped during transit.

Yes, you can bring animals on all our ferry routes.

On board our ferries at Arsvågen-Mortavika, animals must be placed in the car or in cages (which you can borrow on board) during transit. Animals can not be brought into the lounge.

NOTE: On the lower car deck at Arsvågen-Mortavika, no passengers can sit in the car during transit. If you are directed to this location and do not want to leave your pet alone in the car, you must bring it to the upper car deck.

Can I take the cycle on board?

Yes, but it's not allowed to cycle on board! You must therefore roll the bike on and off. 

Can the ferry wait for me?

Fjord1 has an agreement with Norwegian authorities based on specific departure times, and precise departures are decisive in order for subsequent trips to have precise departure times.
The exact time of departure is also part of the service that customers receive by landing on schedule. We can not normally meet the wishes of individual customers asking the captain to wait.

How do I find out if the ferry is in route, or if there have been any deviations?

Look at our frontpage for traffic messages (Only in Norwegian!)
