The route was started by Ole Folgerø Holm and Halvard Halderaker with the ferry Peik between Sagvåg and Rubbestadneset. The following year, a stop at Siggjarvåg was included. With a new ferry, Aspøy, in 1957, the ferry could take a single car. This ferry remained in use until 1960. From 1 November 1962, the route was taken over by HSD, and the following year a new quay was built at Siggjarvåg. The last ferry to operate was MF Ølen, which had a capacity for 73 cars and 310 passengers. The ferry was terminated on 30 April 2001 with the opening of the Triangle Link.[1]
