Timber and logs, some dry cargo and liquid bulk for the local chemical works make up most of the throughput at Minamata Ko (JP MIN) in southern Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu. The compact port on the Yatsushiro Sea also supports the regional fishing fleet rather than scheduled container lines. With roughly 800 metres of quay and about 15 hectares of port area, it is geared to bulk and breakbulk rather than boxed freight. Containerised shipments are best handled via Yatsushiro, the port of Kumamoto or the larger Hakata. Hinterland links run by road along the west coast of Kyushu, and standalone customs relevance for international general cargo is limited. Forwarders will find Minamata Ko most useful for industrial, timber and liquid-bulk consignments.
