Set in southern Kyushu near the East China Sea, Kagoshima Ko (JP KOJ) is primarily a ferry, island and passenger port rather than a container gateway. The municipal Sakurajima ferry runs every 20 minutes to the volcano across the bay, and further services link the outlying islands, alongside domestic cargo, dry bulk and Ro-Ro traffic. Container throughput is modest at roughly 50,000 to 60,000 TEU. The Marine Port Kagoshima terminal, with a 340 m quay at about 9 m depth, lets the port receive large cruise ships of up to some 168,000 gross tons. Regional shipping routes dominate, while large-scale international container lines are absent. Road and rail handle hinterland flows into southern Kyushu. For forwarders, Kagoshima suits regional distribution, island and Ro-Ro services and bulk, with Hakata/Fukuoka or the Kanmon Strait ports better for larger container volumes.
