  • In this video we are taking a closer look at how the ferries in Norway works, and maybe I can answer a question or two about how to pay, and what it expected of you by the ferry crew.

    Svend Nielsen: (from Facebook)
    On this year's trip to Norway from a couple of other motorcyclists, I was made aware that they had been listed as a car on their fergypay.
    Therefore, returning home after the trip, I then checked my account and quite rightly, all 12 crossings we were booked as a car, and I have regretted the misunderstanding to autopass and have today received the following answer:
    Feedback:
    A little unsure why this has happened. I will correct all the passes and what has been deducted too much will be refunded back to balance. I will forward this so that our developer can investigate and hopefully get it fixed so they will come in with the right rate in the future.

    Norway has over 120 different ferry routes spread all over the coastline from South to North. There is not much information about the routes, time of crossing or how much everything coast when you arrive the ferry dock even if the law says you responsible to the customer when it comes to give information about this for each route. A app on the phone or trough a webpage is not good enough. I hope this video can answer some of the many questions out there. And if you have any question that I have not covered in this video, please live them in the comments below. Cheers

      What about dogs on the ferry. We are planning to come from Croatia and we hear that 1) dogs can get on ferrys and must stay in the car or campervan, 2) if they are not vaccinated they can't go on the ferry? Who checks that if you know?

      @@tshansen Yes, and when I passed road told in Norway the fee was drawn direct from my connected account. No invoice as it will be if the EasyGo + box is not used. If you have that account and not use the box, the reg number on the plate will be registered and since my EasyGo account is connected to the plate number it works in the same way. Not sure if your box (if you have one) works in other countries, but the Danes are as far as I know those who have made the most functional contracts with other countrys road toll payment systems. Now when I have a lighter vehicle I don't need to use the box anymore (since it was for heavy vehicles) so I'm not sure if the Danish Bropass box for normal vehicles works in the same way.

    Hey, thanks for this informative video.
    I've been watching several videos about Ferries and Tolls in Norway, and I still have a silly question about the line-queuing (before the ferry).
    I've heard that the line numbers indicate the sequence in which cars board the ferry. (first every car in the 1st lane, then every car in the 2nd lane, etc.)
    If that's the case, are there any circumstances in which I should NOT queue in the 1st line, other than the line being full? (For example at 0:06; I'll also be traveling with a normal car under 6m.)

    • @tshansen
      @tshansen  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If the dock is full of cars, you will follow the system like that. And let’s say row 1-3 goes on the ferry and line 4 is left behind, they start filling the ferry with line 4 next, and then 1 again. But in some cases they have own lanes for trucks, lorries and special service cars. so there can be a little bit confusion. if you travel with a car, just follow the rest of the que. My best tip.

    • @tshansen
      @tshansen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That is a really good question, how could I miss that in the video? well.... yes and no! A few ferries in Norway travel in "open" sea, and therefor it is vice to tie down your bike. Like the one from Bodø to Moskenes or over the Sognefjord sometimes if the weather is really bad. There is no right or wrong, you just need to feel what is right for you. Like you say, most ferries in Norway are running inland so there is not often need to tie down the bike. Always leve it on the side stand and in first gear when parking on the ferry.

      Some of the ferry’s have openings in the deck for strops, but i have to be honest, i have not seen many strops on the ferries? So i would bring my own strop just to be sure

      @Kurkess 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I always bring straps. Never know when they might come in handy. The bikes often get parked in the side of the ferry or up front. When parked on the side I just strapped it to some fixed point on the rails of the ferry with my own strap. But as mentioned probably not necessary in most cases inland.

    Great video, thanks. It's really unclear for non-Norwegian motorcyclists to figure out the requirements for automated payment of tolls and ferry fees. Nice to learn that motorcyclists do not have to pay tolls in Norway, but getting an AutoPass for ferry payments ahead of a trip does not seem possible, at least for Americans with a +1 phone number. AutoPass says they can not send an SMS to a +1 phone number, so one can not register. No answers to repeated e-mails sent via their customer service web page. FerryPay was successful, however, it looks like we will be paying full price for ferry rides!

In 2020 the temperature on for example Beitostølen was 5 C. 2021 was 25 C. On the same date. But average probably july/august is the best time to travel Norway.

    What about walk-ons or pedestrians? We want to spend a few weeks going from the southern terminus of the ferry system and eventually reach Kirkenes and then catch a flight from there to our next stop. We are not planning to take a car, but will likely rent one during stops at larger towns if they are available. We would like to get off the ferry at a few towns on the way and spend a few days at each, then catch a following ferry to our next stop. Is this possible? If so, how do we start? Thanks and great video!

    • @tshansen
      @tshansen  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello DrZman...👏🏻
      Walk-ons or pedestrians are always first in line. The let on and off people first. You go on and off the ferry the same way as cars, but because of safety you will go first. if you are in doubt, just reach out to one of the guys waving cars in or out. These ferries normally goes from one dock to another... a to b and back again. If you want to take on of the catamaran you can jump of at some places and on again some days later. You just need to find out when the ferries or boats goes from the dock and you pay for each trip. It is quite easy and great system. Was that a answer to your question? please let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you. Cheers

Which ferry company would you recommend for a couple who wants to do what I described above: sleep on the ferry many nights, but get off at a village sometimes and spend a few days on land and catch a subsequent ferry. The ferry company we would use would have to have rooms we can rent and a cafeteria for eating. It's very confusing trying to make sense out of the websites of the companies. We don't want the luxury of a cruise ship, just comfortable sleeping quarters and a place to eat onboard the ferry.

      Well, I have read online that not everyone has got a invoice for their ferry travels. I guess they don't bother going all in if there is just a small fee to collect. So maybe you are lucky and have a free pass! If so, keep that in mind when you see someone in need of assistance. Good Karma should be passed on to the next 😉👏🏻
