At 37.9 km (23.5 mi), the Channel Tunnel has the longest undersea portion of any tunnel in the world, although the Seikan Tunnel in Japan is both longer overall, at 53.85 km (33.46 mi) and deeper, at 240 m (790 ft) below sea level. The tunnel carries high-speed Eurostar passenger trains, Eurotunnel Shuttle roll-on/roll-off vehicle transportthe largest in the worldand international rail freight trains.
