Frequently asked questions

The most asked questions from our passengers.

How do I pay for my ferry crossing?

You must pay with either an AutoPASS tag or AutoPASS ferry card, depending on which payment solution the individual ferry uses. A vehicle can be registered with both a tag and a ferry card in the same prepayment agreement.

Both means of payment are linked to your AutoPASS ferry account. After each ferry journey, your payment – including discount – is deducted from your ferry account.

If you want to pay manually, contact a sailor. You can only pay manually with a credit card. Is is not possible to pay with cash on the ferry.

What is FerryPay?

  • FerryPay is a simple and invoice-free payment solution with no discounts for vehicles that do not have an AutoPASS tag or AutoPASS for ferry prepayment agreement.
  • The FerryPay agreement applies to all ferries in Norway that are part of the AutoPASS for ferry scheme, which is most Norwegian ferries
  • The vehicle’s registration number is automatically read upon entering the ferry and linked to your FerryPay agreement.
  • The credit or debit card you have registered on your agreement is automatically charged one full price ticket per ferry journey.

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.

I have lost or forgotten something on board, how can I contact the vessel?

For most connections, you can find the telephone number by going to "general information" under the relevant connection. If the phone number is not there, you can call the switchboard on tel. +47 577 57 000.

I have received an invoice for a ferry passage, what do I do?

It is Autopassferje, operated by Skyttel AS, that administers this, on behalf of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
The ferry company does not send out bills, or store travel data. You can contact Autopass ferry here!

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.

Can I bring animals on board the ferry?

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

On board the ferries, the animal must stay in the car or be placed in cages (which you can borrow on board) during transit.
Animals can not be brought into the lounge area.

NOTE: At Arsvågen-Mortavika passengers are not allowed to stay in the vehicle at the lower car deck during transit.

 If you are directed to this location and do not want to leave your pet alone in the car, you must bring your pet 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?

No, unfortunately. 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!)
