“How do you feel to be at Busan port?” the reporters asked. “Great,” the North Korean sailors answered. The sailors looked cheerful as they waved to the visitors. The ship with its crew of 27 had pulled into the port around 12:30 a.m.
The arrival of the North Korean ship is in accordance with an inter-Korean maritime agreement which came into effect in 2005. The Kangsong will make three round trips between Busan and Rajin every month. source – chosun.com
