Dbs Ferry Vladivostok to Korea

Does anyone know if the ferry is still running. Cannot make anything out on their website.

Planning a RTW within the next 3 or 4 years

Hasn't been running since Covid IIRC. There was a plan by a different South Korean company to start up a service, but I think that got scrapped when Russia invaded Ukraine.

Duwon Ships is active?

Hi

I just stumbled on this information:
DuWon Shipping

I think they still have an active Ferry from Vladivostok to Korea.

Hope this helps

Based on https://www.koreakonsult.com/eastern...uise_eng.html#, the Vladivostok-South Korea ferry is still running weekly. That page has recent schedule details.

This article also provides a good overview of South Korea tourism stats to help plan that part of your RTW: https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism...d-to-know-5254

I did Vladivostok to South Korea ferry with my motorcycle July 2024. I assume you have all sorted. Let me know if you have any questions.

This is one that keeps coming up- can you provide information about the ferry - names, websites and contact details if possible please? Thanks

I submitted all details to "actual shipments done by travelers" form 2 months ago but HU haven't posted.

Basically I contacted Duwon for ferry service for my motorcycle and myself and they pulled in Yuki from Links LTD very early to take care of specific info needed prior and to handle the customs clearing. Duwon allowed me to reserve a ferry ticket and I was able to pay direct in Vladivostok office being my CC didn't work in Russia.

Insurance was a big deal. I had to buy insurance for the days I was in Korea before I could get on ferry. Duwon also required proof my motorcycle left Korea before my insurance time ran out.

I used Assured Sea and Air to ship from Korea to USA. Let me know if you need any of those details.
