They depart when thay are full. To book or buy tickets go to ул. Железнодорожная 1 in Vanino or call on (42137) 57-7-08.

Does Vanino connect via train to the rest of the Trans-Siberian? I'm having a hard time finding info about this online. Thanks!

According to this website, "In order to enter, you have to seek a special authorization from the local migration authorities." So when applying for your Russian Federation visa, make sure that you specify that you intend to travel in Sakhalin, and that all of the necessary paperwork is handled in advance. I don't recommend trying to get the visa on your own: use the services of WTR or another highly experienced visa processing firm.

There are two daily trains from Vanino to Habarovsk via Komsomolsk Na Amure.

This would appear to be the ferry operator. I've not looked at the data in depth but it seems all there. http://www.sasco.org/index.php?lang=en Also some out of date posts on the HUBB horizonsunlimited... http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/northern-asia/entering-japan-via-vanino-russia-20912 http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/northern-asia/ferry-kholmsk-sakhalin-island-port-20948 Should be enough - this took me around 5 minutes to google - lazy gits!
