Dong Chun ferry kaput at Zarubino?
I realize this is a rather old thread, but I was just researching the ferry from Zarubino to Sokcho, South Korea for later this summer and came across this: Korean ferryboat stops service for Zarubino port – Business – Vladivostok News
. Too bad .  Hope the Vladivostok-Sokcho route keeps going. Anybody have any more recent info?
Thanks,

That topic was covered last summer...

It seems to be running again as another member was in contact with the ferry company recently. I don't think service to Vladivostok ever stopped, just Zarubino.

If possible, you should use Zarubino port instead of Vladivostok. Vlad customs is notoriously slow, difficult, and expensive.

Its possible
We used the ferry in Jul08 after the rumour of it not running anymore.
Definitely better to go to Zarubino than Vladivostok. We spent about 2-3 hours clearing the vehicle in Zarubino.
Have a look on our site in the Russia diary entries for a little bit of info on customs etc.
russia

Taking a ferry on the Dongchung Ferry
Hi Guys,
Your information came in very useful - my fiance and I are planning to travel on it in a couple of months time (thanks MotorEdde for the excellent suggestion!).
We are driving a Unimog truck on our journey which is 3.5 m tall. Were there any HGVs on the Ferry?
Thanks,
Chloe

The particular ferry we went on (not sure how many boats they use and if they are any different) was BIG. There was MORE than enough headroom to get a 3.5m Mog in. Definitely enough space for HGVs
