HAYABUSA NO.3 Passenger and Car Ferry
The passenger and car ferry HAYABUSA NO.3 built to Kyoei Unyu Co., Ltd. was delivered in September 2000 at the Hakodate Shipyard of The Hakodate Dock Co., Ltd., and is now in service on the 113 km route between Hakodate and Aomori with a crossing time of four hours.
The ferry was newly designed and built as passenger and car ferry in place of the old truck ferry, HAYABUSA NO.3, due to change in domestic rules and is now capable to accommodate 47 passengers, in addition to 10 drivers, 12 m trailer truck x 24 and 9 m trailer truck x 2.
