Passenger traffic on int'l ferries drops in 2011
SEOUL, Feb. 10 (Yonhap) -- The number of international ferry passengers to and from South Korea in 2011 fell slightly from a year earlier due largely to a significant drop in the number of South Koreans visiting Japan after it experienced an earthquake and tsunami in March, the government said Friday.
The number of international ferry passengers to and from the country totaled 2,702,432 last year, down 2.4 percent from 2,769,808 in 2010, according to the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs.
