In response to the increasing size of vessels, the channels and basins at the Port of Nagoya have been dredged, with the dredged soil being used for developing landfill sites. The Port's 42.1 million-square-meter land area is the largest in Japan and larger than the combined land area of the Port of Tokyo and the Port of Yokohama.
The land area of the Port of Nagoya effectively serves as a major manufacturing center as well as a major distribution center. The manufacturing area includes aerospace industry facilities, steel plants, shipyards, grain warehouses, and an LNG base used to generate electricity and gas. Meanwhile, the distribution area is equipped with cargo handling facilities for containers, automobiles and so on.
You are invited to take a brief tour around the Port of Nagoya, Japan's largest and most dynamic port and a major base for land, sea, and air transportation.
