Mangyongbong-92
''Mangyongbong-92'' is a cargo-passenger ferry, named after a hill near Pyongyang. The ferry was built in 1992 with funds from Chongryon, the pro-Pyongyang General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, and was used to transport passengers and cargo between North Korea and Japan. These voyages continued until 2006 when Japan banned North Korean ships from its waters. In 2011 the ship trialed a route between Rason and Mount Kumgang. , the ship operates no route and is anchored in Wonsan.
==Background==
The first Mangyongbong ship had its maiden voyage in September 1971, amidst Japan’s easing restrictions on visits to North Korea by Zainichi Koreans. It was used to transport people between North Korea and Japan until it was replaced by the Mangyongbong-92 in 1992.〔(http://japanfocus.org/-Tessa-Morris_Suzuki/3241 )〕 The Mangyongbong-92 was constructed using a donation of 4 billion yen (approximately US $32 million) from Chongryon to North Korea as a gift for Kim Il-sung’s 80th birthday.〔
The ferry can carry 200 passengers and 1,000 tons of cargo. Prior to the Japanese ban on North Korean vessels, it made about 1 to 2 round trips per month between Niigata, Japan and Wonsan, North Korea, with a one-way trip lasting about 28 hours.〔 Most of the passengers were North Korean zainichi visiting relatives or students of a Chongryon school on a study trip. The cargo was typically electronics, medical devices, and other manufactured products.〔 In August 1993, a first-class ticket on the Mangyongbong-92 would cost about US $1,500 each.〔"Food Riotsspreading,Travellersreport: FINAL Edition."
