Roughly 280,000 DWT at a single offshore buoy: Nishihara (JP NHR) in Nakagusuku Bay on Okinawa is a specialised petroleum terminal, not a container or general-cargo port. Its Single Anchor Leg Mooring (SALM) buoy lies about 3,600 m offshore and takes VLCC tankers up to around 280,000 DWT (LOA to 350 m, draught to 21 m), feeding an oil refinery built on reclaimed land along the bay. Three alongside berths handle additional crude and product loading and discharge, the largest accommodating vessels of about 250 m and 97,000 DWT. The facility moves crude oil and petroleum products rather than boxes or breakbulk. Forwarders with container traffic for Okinawa use the nearby main port of Naha.
