Kystbudet

Kystbudet is a Norwegian transport company that runs scheduled freight and courier routes on the Trøndelag coast. It operates a route between Trondheim and Hitra/Frøya twice a day, weekday delivery routes to Fosen, Hemne, Aure, Halsa, Surnadal, Hitra and Frøya, and arranges transport and urgent trips anywhere in Norway. Single orders can be tracked, and some orders include an estimated arrival time.

Customers include regular customers who order through an online portal with order and invoice history, and customers who book transport by e-mail or phone. Revenue comes from transport orders priced as freight rates. In 2026 the company added a 16% energy surcharge to its ordinary rates because of extraordinary fuel prices, to be removed once fuel prices normalise.

The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Hestvika on Hitra. It has a terminal in Trondheim and a distribution network across Norway, and works with freight partners elsewhere in the country. Kystbudet is certified as a Miljøfyrtårn (Norwegian environmental certification) and reports on its results annually.
