Two districts make up the Port of Sendai-Shiogama on the Pacific coast of Miyagi Prefecture: the Sendai district, built around a large container terminal, and the Shiogama district, focused on fishing, seafood processing and bulk cargo. The box terminal handled around 290,000 TEU in 2019 and accommodates vessels of up to roughly 6,500 TEU, combining international scheduled services with domestic feeders to other Japanese ports. The port is the principal gateway for the automotive plants of Miyagi and Iwate, moving more than 300,000 finished vehicles a year. Its hinterland centres on Sendai, the largest city in northern Japan, and the wider Tohoku region. Road connections and the Sendai Rinkai Railway tie the quays into regional production and distribution. Cargo handled spans containers, reefers, vehicles, break-bulk and dry bulk, with customs clearance under standard Japanese import-export procedures. For maximum sailing frequency or direct deep-sea calls, shippers commonly combine it with the Keihin ports of Tokyo and Yokohama.
