She had become suspicious of him as they caught the ferry back to the island together. He was dressed in a fake policeman's uniform and she quizzed him about the bomb in central Oslo, which killed eight, but became concerned at his evasive answers.
Accountant Ms Bosei, whose two daughters were unhurt despite being on the island, ran off to raise the alarm when the ferry docked, alerting off-duty policeman Trond Berntsen, 51, who was working as a guard.

Brain Dump:
Assumption on road transit times do not include traffic problems, or that the time is about right for Friday after work traffic. Summer work hours in Norway lets out at 15:00.
Breivik claims he was delayed between Oslo and Utoeya.
Times local to Oslo Time Zone CEST.
Friday July 22, 15:26 (2011-07-22 15:26:00 CEST) (time given in this thread 15:20) Bombing at:
Statsministerens kontor (Prime Minister’s Office)
Akersgata 42, 0180 Oslo, Norway
The bomb was in a vehicle. He also drove to the dock in a vehicle. Clearly not the same vehicle used for the bombing.
Bomb was likely remotely detonated? He needs time to move from vehicle-bomb to pre—planted transportation vehicle?
Directionality of the arriving emergency vehicles? Did he need to take a different route than expected? Did he need to walk to his transportation vehicle during the chaos? Was there more people dumping out of the area more quickly than he anticipated?

Routes To Utstranda/Fv155 (closest dock) @ Hoenefoss
By E18 and E16 is 34 minutes.
By E16 only is 46 minutes.
Avoiding highways and tolls route takes 51 to 55 minutes. Seems quite possible he'd avoid highways as much as possible.
First Twitter about shootings 17:41. (2011-07-22 17:41:00)
First call time given by Polce 17:27 – made by Anders Nohre Berg when he heard shots from the mainland.
17:08 first time for shooting given by www.dagbladet.no...
Now 404’ed. Cached version available here: webcache.googleusercontent.com...:_NZzQO_BbVIJ:www.dagbladet.no/2011/07/25/nyheter/innenriks/terror_i_oslo/terrorangrepet/17445561/ +www.dagbladet.no...&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca&source=www.google.ca
So assuming that he remotely detonated after already being in his transportation vehicle:
15:26 + 55 minutes to get to dock on the mainland.
Route time for highway avoiding routes and tolls, but not accounting for traffic problems caused by people leaving Oslo on a Friday where Norway is on summer work hours meaning they let out at 15:00, extra traffic caused by the Labour event and the PM’s arrival and departure, nor extra traffic chaos caused by the bombing and emergency service dumping teams into the downtown core for other bombs.: @16:15
Accounting for problems in traffic, avoidance of detection, having to move to his transportation vehicle planted at a safe distance from his bomb vehicle: add 30 minutes. @16:45
Requests to be transferred to the Island as a Police Officer to address the crowd about the bombing in Oslo.
Last schedule for the day is now 17:00 due to the bombing.

17:00 board. Depart. Dock and disembark. 15 minutes? 17:15.
Ms.Bosei disembarks, approaches security guard/step-brother of princess and gets shot. @17:25? Two minutes for Mr. Berg to call 911.
Doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.

Strange the witnesses who saw him on the mainland didn't notice any scuba-diver's wetsuit.
The first reports said the shooter initially called the young people to gather around him before pulling out a weapon and start shooting.
Now we have version two where he is first escorted to the office when he draws a gun and shoots the security guard.

www.telegraph.co.uk...
-- Police have been accused of a series of mistakes in their response to the shootings. There were a series of delays even as Breivik was shooting his victims; an overloaded boat carrying officers to the island started sinking into the lake; the first police officers to the scene stopped before crossing to the island, to wait for specialist backup; and the Delta-force armed unit which was trained to deal with terrorist attacks had to go by land from Oslo because no helicopters were available.

That timeline makes absolute sense. My question would be why the bomb would result in the ferry running late? Also, if the ferry was docked closeby, why couldn't the police commandeer it to get to the island?

The ferry was docked on the Island right after the attack. Someone would have needed to take it back across to the mainland.
Ferry captain killed? Hid? Dodging bullets? For some reason the ferry was still at dock on the Island, and was not relaunched for the mainland.
- We just had to go
- Eventually, people came running down, among them was AUF leader Eskil Pedersen and his counselor and a few more.
Finally, we managed to call the captain of the boat - and departed.
Feeling emotion of guilt
He says that he subsequently has thought a lot about the decision they took the afternoon
- It's clear they know little of it that we were nine in the boat, and it could Room 50.
