Container service from the Port of Shimonoseki to Busan Port started in 1992, and at present 5 trips a week are in operation. In addition to local cargo between Japan and Korea, freight is transported to and from China, India, Pakistan, North America, Europe, South Africa, etc., by major shipping companies with transhipment at Busan.
Furthermore, in May 2002, one vessel a week began calling at Kwangyang, increasing the transportation of chemical products, the main cargo item of this route. Also, in June 2002, the Qingdao-Shimonoseki route was inaugurated on one trip a week basis, and an increase in import business is expected by utilizing this fastest service from the Port of Qingdao (Huangdao).
