Western Japan's car exports need a dependable outlet, and Hiroshima—the Chugoku region's leading port—provides it. Set on the Ota River delta along the Seto Inland Sea, it moves roughly 12 million tonnes and about 210,000 TEU each year. Its Ujina International Container Terminal offers a 330-metre quay at 14 metres depth, three gantry cranes, storage for some 8,000 TEU and 76 reefer plugs for temperature-controlled loads. Imports centre on LNG, timber, wheat and barley, while automobiles—including locally built vehicles—dominate exports. Transshipment to other Japanese ports and to Korea is a recognised growth trade. Forwarders will find Hiroshima well suited to container, reefer and breakbulk flows in western Japan, with Kobe and Osaka the nearest options for global mainline services.
