In our trip to\nHokkaido<\/a> last week, we took a car<\/span> ferry most of the way. We drove<\/span> the\n83 miles from Kyoto to the Tsuruga ferry port, then boarded the Shin Nihonkai Line's<\/a> ferry named\nSuisen<\/a> (which\nmeans Daffodil<\/i>).<\/p>\n\n

Looking at that big rope, I have to<\/span> ask: if you had to choose, would you\nrather be caught between the ship and the dock, or read my blog? It's a question<\/span> of whether you'd prefer to be moored to death, or bored to\ndeath....<\/p>\n\n

Anyway, the boat is 200 meters long, and is designed to carry the crew, 507 passengers, 122 truck trailers, and 80 cars.<\/p>\n\n

The ship has five levels. The bottom<\/span> two, which extend the length of the\nship, are for vehicles. The top three<\/span> are for passengers (restaurants,\nstore, entertainment, rooms, etc.) and are much shorter. Additionally, one\nwould suppose that below the vehicle levels are “boat stuff” levels with\nthings like fuel storage and an engine.<\/p>\n\n
