Promoting Green Logistics at Yokohama Port
Last Updated December 20, 2023
In City of Yokohama, Port and Harbor Bureau, we are working to expand the domestic transportation network of marine containers through domestic feeder transportation, container barge transportation, and rail transportation.
These means of transportation are expected to be used to alleviate traffic congestion and to increase the use of green logistics with energy-saving effects.
Details of Green Logistics
Domestic transport feeder
Since transport by coastal feeder ships can transport a large amount of marine containers at once, CO2 emissions per ton are lower than trucks, making it an energy-saving and environmentally friendly transportation mode. Currently, domestic feeder transport is being carried out with the Pacific coasts of Hokkaido, Tohoku, Tokai and Kansai.

Container barge transportation
Container barges (container-only barges) connecting Yokohama to Tokyo and Chiba at sea can transport a large amount of marine containers comparable to more than 80 trucks at a time.
In addition to reducing CO2 emissions per ton of transport through energy saving effects, it is also expected to reduce congestion on roads around the Tokyo metropolitan area and ports.

Rail transport
At Yokohama Port, we carry out railway transportation based on Yokohama Honmoku Station.

Port usage fee reduction system
Yokohama Port provides support for the promotion of such green logistics by establishing a system to reduce port usage fees.
| Reason for Reduction of Exemption | Port entry fee | Quay usage fee |
|---|---|---|
| (1)When a barge or pusher boat provided for transporting container cargo enters Yokohama Port | Total amount | None |
| (2)When a barge and a pusher boat, etc., which are used for transporting container cargo with Yokohama Port as a fixed area, use the quay as a stoppage. | None | Amount equivalent to 75% |
Other efforts to reduce environmental impact
Green Logistics Partnership Meeting
The Green Logistics Partnership Conference was established with the cooperation of the Japan Logistics System Association, the Japan Federation of Logistics Organizations, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and the Japan Business Federation (Observers) to expand efforts to reduce CO2 emissions in the logistics sector.
