Steel, iron ore, coal and LPG are the staples of Higashi-Harima (JP HHR), an industrial port complex on the Seto Inland Sea in Hyogo Prefecture. Spread across the Iho, Takasago, Kakogawa, Harima and Futami areas, it handles roughly 30 million tonnes of foreign and domestic trade a year, much of it tied to Kobe Steel's Kakogawa works, which account for about 80 percent of the company's steel output. The East Wharf takes bulk carriers up to 160,000 DWT on a 16.4-metre draft, while the West Wharf serves smaller vessels up to 35,000 DWT on 11 metres; oil and chemical terminals and berths for LPG carriers up to 70,000 DWT complete the industrial fit-out. For containers, the port acts mainly as a feeder to nearby Kobe and Osaka. Forwarders moving container cargo therefore route it through Kobe rather than calling here directly. Its strength is industrial and bulk freight, not box shipping.
