Osaka Port (JP OSA) handled 696,378 TEU in January–April 2026, up 3.7% year-on-year; May 2026 brought 173,631 TEU, a 2.6% decline — the first monthly drop in five months, driven by a 5.2% fall in exports. The 2024 full-year throughput was roughly 2.5 million TEU, consolidating its position among Japan's five largest container ports. Together with neighbouring Kobe, it forms the integrated Hanshin Port serving the Kansai industrial region. Container handling is split across two reclaimed islands — Sakishima (berths C-1 to C-4, C-8, C-9) and Yumeshima (C-10 to C-12), where Dream Island Container Terminal Co. operates roughly 1,350 metres of quay at depths of 15–16 metres. Services reach North America, Australia, Taiwan and South-East Asia. Beyond containers, dedicated wharves handle vehicles, electronics and agricultural cargo. Hinterland distribution into the Osaka–Kyoto conurbation relies on an extensive motorway and rail network. Customs and import-export processing are fully established. Shippers needing specific frequencies or capacities often route via Kobe or the Tokyo Bay ports of Yokohama and Tokyo.
