Yokohama Port Port and Harbor Plan (revised in 2014)

• This is a basic plan established by Yokohama City, a port manager, based on the Port and Harbor Law in order to systematically develop, use, and preserve Yokohama Port.

• Based on social conditions and changes in the environment surrounding Yokohama Port, we have established the cargo volume, the scale and arrangement of facilities with the target year in the late 30s.

Yokohama Port is a port that is internationally competitive port, a port where citizens gather and rest, and a port that is safe, secure and environmentally friendly.
With the three pillars, we aim to revitalize the Yokohama economy and create a comprehensive port that enriches citizens' lives.

1． Internationally competitive ports

• As an international container strategic port, we will reorganize and strengthen container wharfs and develop advanced facilities by responding appropriately to shipping trends such as larger containerships and an increase in cargo volume worldwide, especially in Asia, to maintain and expand core routes and further expand coastal routes. At the same time, we plan a new wharf that integrates a deep and high-standard container terminal and a logistics facility with advanced distribution processing functions, and form a logistics base in the coastal area.
• We will promote functional change and consolidation of wharfs so that we can efficiently handle general cargo other than containers, including finished vehicles, the main cargo handled by Yokohama Port.
• In order to respond to the increasing port logistics, the wide-area road network and harbor roads will be connected to strengthen cargo collection capacity and ensure smooth traffic between wharfs.

2． A port where citizens gather and relax

• As Japan's leading cruise ports, we will strive to create bustle by responding to the larger size of passenger ships and increasing port calls.
• We will change land use and promote the creation of new bustling bases in the inner port area, where changes in usage patterns such as offshore distribution functions.
• We will promote the formation of an open waterfront and create a comfortable and attractive hydrophilic space that takes advantage of the characteristics of the district in order to provide citizens and visitors with familiar hydrophilic spaces and respond to marine recreational demands.

3． Ports that are safe, secure and environmentally friendly.

• As a base to support citizens' lives and economic activities in the event of a disaster, we will strengthen the disaster prevention function of Yokohama Port and promote the creation of disaster-resistant ports.
• In order to pass on the friendly and beautiful Yokohama Port to the next generation, we will promote environmental conservation initiatives such as securing green spaces, improving the water quality environment, and taking measures against global warming.
