Comments: 

The Line Sakaiminato-Vladivostok is a normal Car Ferry as I know it from Europe. Well at least in Japan it is, the Russians see it a bit differently.

In Vladivostok the Ferry arrived on Monday 14.00h. I'm not allowed to drive my bike off the ferry. In Japan and Korea you can drive yourself.

They unloaded the bike on Tuesday???? On Wednesday my agent got the papers and with a bit good luck I drove off at 16.00h

I used the service from Yuri Melnikov. He arranged the compulsory insurance for Russia on Tuesday. It's the first time I used an agent to get custom clearance. I'm glad I did.

Bike: usd 700

Cheapest cabin: usd 240

Bill of Lading in Japan: usd 120????
