Crude oil, liquefied natural gas, petroleum products, steel and chemicals define Chiba, Japan's largest port by cargo tonnage at roughly 167 million tons a year. The port serves the Keiyō petrochemical and power belt on the eastern shore of Tokyo Bay; imports are dominated by crude petroleum and LNG, while steel products, chemicals and vehicles move outbound. Container throughput, by contrast, is marginal at about 41,780 TEU, so Chiba is not a substitute for the region's box terminals. The Katsunan ward handles scrap metal, gravel, sand and metals, whereas Ro/Ro traffic and a small container terminal sit in the Chiba ward. Channel depths of around 17 metres and 94 public berths let the port accommodate large tankers and bulk carriers. Road and rail links tie it tightly into the Tokyo–Yokohama metropolitan hinterland. For containers, shippers should look to Tokyo or Yokohama; for energy and bulk imports, Chiba remains the primary gateway.
