Automobiles and vehicle parts make up the bulk of what leaves Hakata, the principal container gateway of Japan's Kyushu island. The port handles roughly 800,000 TEU a year, against a capacity above 900,000, across two terminals — Island City, with 14-to-15-metre berths and six quay cranes, moving around 60 percent, and Kashii Park on a 13-metre berth handling the balance. Its proximity to South Korea and China is the practical draw for forwarders: the Camellia Line runs a daily RoRo ferry to Busan, giving short transit times for breakbulk and accompanied cargo. Imports include grain, fruit and vegetables, much of it moving as reefer cargo. Road and rail links connect the quays to Fukuoka and the wider Kyushu hinterland. For deep-sea container volumes or transhipment, shippers typically route via Kobe or Yokohama.
