About Rødne

Scheduled services

The year was 1956 and schoolchildren living on the islands of the Ryfylke district were brought to school in private boats. When Ludvik Rødne established a regular school transport system for seven of the Sjernarøy islands, he solved a major logistics problem for locals. Since then, L. Rødne & Sønner AS has grown into a company that is now responsible for a variety of routes in Rogaland and Vestland counties.

All guests are equally important to us, whether they commute with us every day in the Stavanger area or are taking the boat from Bergen to Rosendal for the very first time. We promise to greet you with a smile and good service.

Safety first
Rødne has an excellent reputation with the Norwegian Maritime Directorate and can boast solid results in ships’ classifications and audits. As our guest, you can rest assured that we conduct regular training exercises to make sure that we are always ready to correctly handle whatever situation arises.
