Fensfjorden, Coastal fjord in Vestland, Norway.
The Fensfjord stretches over 30 kilometers from Holmengrå Lighthouse to the southeast, with widths ranging between 3 to 5 kilometers throughout its course.
The fjord's name originates from Old Norse, potentially derived from 'fjǫrn' meaning land or 'fara' referencing ancient ferry traffic in the region.
Multiple municipalities, including Fedje, Austrheim, and Alver, connect along the fjord's shores, creating a network of coastal communities linked by maritime traditions.
A car ferry service operates between Sløvåg and Mongstad, providing essential transportation across the fjord for residents and visitors.
The fjord houses Mongstad, Norway's largest port by tonnage, where approximately 2000 ships dock annually for oil refinery operations.
