Sea Route Opened After 3 Years... Busan-Daemado Passenger Ferry Service Resumes

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) will resume the Busan-Tsushima passenger route, which was suspended due to COVID-19, starting from the 25th after more than three years.

Since last November, other Busan-Japan routes such as Fukuoka Port, Osaka Port, and Shimonoseki Port have sequentially resumed operations, but the Tsushima route was delayed due to local quarantine measures.

The Panstar Tsushima Link (panstarline.com) and Nina (Starline) ships will be deployed first for the Busan-Tsushima route, operating once a day on Saturdays and Sundays.

According to the policy of the Tsushima city authorities and considering local conditions, the maximum number of passengers per ferry trip will be limited to 100 for the time being.

The Tsushima route is the only route departing from Busan Port and was a popular route before COVID-19, with 11 vessels operating and accounting for 60% of Korea-Japan international passengers using the International Passenger Terminal.

Before resuming the Busan-Tsushima passenger route, BPA has completed thorough preparations such as inspecting various facilities to ensure no inconvenience to users, and plans to sequentially expand convenience facilities at the International Passenger Terminal.
