Ferry Crossing S.Korea to Russia
Hi! Everyone,
I read from reports that the Dongchun ferry Line between Sokcho, S. Korea to Zarubino, Russia has stop operating since 2010. Thus leaving the DBS ferry Lines only option to sea crossing from S.Korea to Russia via Dong Hae to Vladivostok. However, when I tried to book online ticket (single journey) traveling for next month the DBS Lines provides service for passengers only.
Does anyone out there know when will DBS service provides passenger and bike/vehicle? Or can anyone point me towards somebody or contact to air freight my bike from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Vladivostok, Russia?

Thank you for the help.

Amzah

Why did you take DBS to Vladivostok and spend three days waiting for the bike clearance? (Yuris fees, hotels,, food ,, transportation costs)
Zarubino by Stana-Daena was repeatly recommended for 2-3 hour customs clearance. ( No Yuri and customs clearance fees,,, on the road in 3 hours)
So far non have faced voodoo Korean customs interpretations by using Wendy.

Just talked to DBS FERRY in Korea - their Ferry Service is OUT OF BUSINESS (and not just for the winter) due to "lack of money".

Almost all of their staff have been layed off.

I asked about the chances of service revival and the recommendation was to make alternative arrangements.



ANYBODY INTERESTED IN GETTING A SEA FREIGHT CONTAINER TOGETHER BY BIKES ABROAD IN MELBOURNE - ARRIVAL EARLY MAY VLADIVOSTOK?
