Bruce,this is the only link I could find.And it was hard to find.
Google Translate
It isn't easy to navigate.And a lot is still under construction.I used translate Korean to English.Then if you place the cursor over "New Blue Ocean" you will see some English options to choose.They usually take you to more Korean stuff.I think patkoj was going to have someone translate it.Never heard back from him about it.It's something you can look at.I gave up and decided I'll wait till I get there and do what I have to do.

Thanks, can't understand why google did not throw that up when I tried "stena daea".
We need to get over to Vlad as quick as possible to keep our visas lined up, and our 91 day target. So, asuming we can get on the Sunday 2nd ferry from Dong Hoe we are back on track. All we need to do is work out how to get from Incheon to the ferry -)

Here is some info I got from 2 riders going through last year.Hope they don't mind.This sounds way easier than I anticipated.If so,riding across Korea would be a lot cheaper than the bonded truck.
We entered South Korea from Russia on the ferry. When we arrived at Donghae we were taken into customs where we sorted out all the paperwork. We had to pay an 'entry fee' which was about $200. Although you don't need a carnet for SK, if you have one, use it, as this will get you off paying this charge. We got off the ferry with a guy who had one and he didn't need to pay this. The customs guy then gave us a price for insurance. You can pick the one that covers your time there - we stayed 4 weeks - and that cost us about $150. The customs at Donghae have a deal with an insurance company but he did say we were free to get it ourselves when we left the port if we liked. From arriving at the port, getting through customs, to riding out the gate took us about 1 hour.
