Regular RO/RO ship service twice weekly from Shimonoseki Port to Suzhou Taicang Port, China. Voyage time is 35 hours.
The quay and ship are connected by a ramp, allowing horizontal movement. The ship's interior has a pillarless structure, enabling through transport of self-propelled cargo and some uncontainerized cargo without ever experiencing vertical vibration from crane operations.
For container cargo, since loading/unloading (horizontal movement) and sea transport are conducted with containers loaded on dedicated chassis, crane use is limited only to storage and pickup operations within the CY (Container Yard).
During sea transport, the ship's hold remains closed with hatch covers, completely sealed from outside air. This eliminates concerns about rain exposure for self-propelled or uncontainerized cargo, and temperature/humidity increases inside dry containers.
