Camellia Line

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.

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. 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.
