Last update date July 24, 2023

Do you know "Minato Boat"?

City of Yokohama, Port and Harbor Bureau owns the "Komutei".
The Water Area Management Division is engaged in various tasks to keep the sea in good condition, and it is a ship that plays an active part there.

Introduction to Portuguese

The total length is about 18m.
There are 30 people, including crew members.
It has a two-story building, the second floor is a steering room, and the first floor is a guest room with large windows, making it look like a meeting room.

The total length is about 15m.
There are 12 people, including crew members.
This is only on the first floor, and it is a room like a bus.
The same seat as the actual sightseeing bus is used.

The total length is about 8m.
Eight people can ride, including crew members.
It is a small motorboat type.
There are two ships of the same shape.


Work introduction (patrol) of port service boats

The area we patrol using these four vessels is called a port area.
The port area is the "sea part of Yokohama Port" and has an area of approximately 7,220 hectares and more than 2,000 Yokohama Stadium.
This large area is shared by four port boats, and patrols are carried out every day, including weekends and holidays.

However, in fact, not only port areas, but also part of the river area are subject to patrols.
In cooperation with Kanagawa Prefecture, we carry out patrols.

Main job
Oil Spill ResponseAlertsHandling of drifting objectsHandling unattended vessels
We cooperate with the Japan Coast Guard and the Fire Bureau.
Use a mat that absorbs oil to prevent oil from spreading.

Illegal acts
This is the deterrent of dangerous acts.
For example,
・Let's throw away the garbage
 Those who do it
・Off-limit areas along the coast
 Those who are in Japan
・Where you shouldn't swim
 Swimmers

It's hard to hit a running boat.
In cooperation with subcontractors
I try to find and remove it as soon as possible.
 
※Please also see "Cleaning the Sea of Yokohama Port-To Protect Safe and Clean Sea".

The owner does not manage it properly.
This is a response to a ship that has stopped without permission.
It encourages people to move to a proper marina.

In fact, I have a job besides patrols.

For those involved in the company who want to use Yokohama Port as a logistics base!
We have you board a port service boat and guide you to Yokohama Port. There are many customers from overseas.

In addition, local governments from all over the country can come to visit. As a position to manage the same sea.
Sharing information has new discoveries and stimulating.

Unfortunately, ordinary people are not allowed to board for sightseeing purposes.
Attracting companies to Yokohama Port and responding to PR and inspections of Yokohama Port are important jobs for port service boats.

Dear: Two crew members appeared on FM Yokohama.


Recorded scenery

This time, FM Yokohama Kiss & Ride "Let's protect! Two seafarers appeared in "Our beautiful sea".

The port boats we have talked about so far cannot be boarded by the general public.

It is rarely seen, and there are many people who do not know that there is such a ship in Yokohama.

I would be glad if you could know a little bit about the existence and role of port boats that are active behind the scenes.

You can listen to the interview Long Ver here.
