Camellia Line Co., Ltd. is a shipping company that operates a freight passenger ship connecting Hakata Port in Japan and Busan in South Korea. It was founded in a joint venture between Japan NYK (Kinkai Yusen) in Japan and Koryo Shipping in Korea.

Operation overview

[edit | edit source]

One round trip ferry "New Camellia" operates between Hakata and Busan each day. It departs Hakata during day time, and then departs from Busan at night.[1] Citizens proposed a trip for Island Hopping or a package vacation, between Busan and Hakata. It is a part of Asian Highway 1 (AH1) and the only part of the highway in the form of a ferry. From Fukuoka, AH1 takes the Camellia Line ferry to Busan, South Korea. The Japan–Korea Undersea Tunnel has been proposed to provide a fixed crossing.
