Thank you, Vlad. This sort of discovery is always thrilling.

Cheers also for your observations at the site in Masan. I shall keep an eye on your postings from now on!

If you are interested you can read about the history of the hydrofoils of South Korea in the April 2013 CLASSIC FAST FERRIES. It is available, free of charge, at www.classicfastferries.com

I expect her to start trading soon, seeing her new livery. Her name is painted over on her stern, so she'll obviously be renamed. She looked completely abandoned when I took this photo of her; gangway to shore was fully accessible, the doors were open, and not a living soul was moving within 200 meters or so of her...

In the meantime, I've found another high speed craft hiding in Korea (even if not of a surface effect type):

That is only because there weren't many to begin with ; )
I look forward to your further posts of this rare vessel.

Thanks for your comment, Classic Fast Ferries! :) It's true, I have not seen many of these vessels in my area...

Cheers

Interesting. Photos of the old surface effect ships (air cushion vehicles) are few and far between in general and from your part of the world in particular.
Thank you for sharing!
