Port Map

The Port, at the vanguard in the container transport revolution, led the nation with its completion of a container terminal at Shinagawa in 1967. One after the other, eight additional berths were opened for use at the Oi Terminal between 1971 and 1975, rapidly thrusting the Port into international prominence. The most recent addition at Aomi brings to fifteen that total number of operational container berths to fifteen, which, in union with the many surrounding distribution centers, form the groundwork for increasingly intensifying international distribution services.

* Transitions in Container Cargo Volume at the Port

data

The volume of imports finally exceeded that of exports in 1987, a trend that continues to the present, illustrating how transformations in the economic and social structure of Japan have brought with them in an increase in the demand for products from abroad.

* Oi Container Terminal

One of the best container terminals in Japan, it plays a central role in the international distribution of goods in the metropolitan area.
ooi_containerberth In the background, five marine cargo transit sheds, primarily for the handling and storage of container cargo, contribute to seamless transport activities, while forty-one companies are involved in thr operation of ultramodern distribution facilities on thirty-three hectares of warehouse space nearby with the aim of creating the largest center for international intermodal transport in Japan.

oi_containeryard Redevelopment activities are also being promoted to convert the eight existring berths into seven large-scale berths in order to be able to cope with the increased size of container vessels. Redevelopment construction work was launched in 1996 and, upon completion in 2003, will promote broad functional improvements.
