The Brekstad–Valset Ferry is an automobile ferry in Trøndelag county, Norway. The ferry is part of the Norwegian County Road 710 as it crosses the Trondheimsfjorden, connecting the town of Brekstad on the Fosen peninsula to Valset in Orkland municipality. The 5.6 kilometres (3.5 mi) passage is performed with the double-ended ferries MF Ørland and operated by Tide Sjø making 17 crossings in each direction each day taking 20 minutes.[1]
