Norled is not using payment by AutoPASS electronic tags (OBU). OBU payments will be introduced for certain ferry crossings in 2020, but until then, please purchase your tickets as before: Ask for a ticket (includes the driver) according to your vehicle’s length, as well as tickets for all passengers.
Vegvesenet (the Norwegian Public Roads Administration) introduced the AutoPASS ferry-card from 01-JAN-2019, including a transition period; please ref to earlier announcements at norled.no and aboard our ferries since JAN-2019, as well as Vegvesenet’s info at autopassferje.no .
As of Monday 01-JUL-2019 value cards from the previous system «Nasjonalt Ferjekort» are no more valid on any car ferry in Norway.
As there has been a transition period of 6 months, many will already have spent the remaining value in their Norled value card, and ordered their AutoPASS Ferry-card from autopassferje.no (Please read below regarding refund of any remaining balance).
Vegvesenet’s «Riksregulativet for Ferjetakster» (chapt. 13) lists accepted means of payment as of 01-JUL-2019 on Norled ferries, i.e. ferry crossings not using OBU payment:
- Cash (in NOK)
- Bank-kort (Norwegian debit cards), as well as certain credit cards
- AutoPASS Ferry-card
- Lokale products «Ungdomskort» and «Norled periodekort» («månedskort med bilde»).
Refunds for discontinued Norled value cards:
If you wish to have the remaining balance refunded, the procedure is as before: please fill in the form at https://dialog.norled.no/avslutte-verdikort , then post the card following the instructions on that webpage.
