Frequently asked questions

Vessel positions from the Norwegian Coastal Administration's AIS network update roughly every 30 seconds. Departures and real-time estimates come from Entur and update continuously. Timetables (GTFS) are refreshed nightly.

Havspor shows the operators' own times, including real-time changes where available. But boats can be cancelled or moved at short notice — always check with the operator before a journey that matters, and allow extra time.
