Bastø Fosen

[3] The crossing takes 30 minutes, and the ferries provide two departures per hour throughout the day in each direction, with reduced schedules on the weekends.

In 2003, Bastø Fosen received concession for operations until 2015, after the Norwegian Public Roads Administration had rejected a competing offer from Stavangerske.

[5] In 2008, Bastø Fosen announced they were interested in increasing the number of ferries to four.

[6] The Public Road Administration has launched plans to build a tunnel under the fjord to replace the ferries, estimated to cost 5 billion kr; in comparison a bridge would cost NOK 15 billion.

[8] MS Bastø III was delivered in February 14, 2005 in conjunction with the second concession period.
