Tokuyama (JP TKY), on Uchino Bay in Yamaguchi Prefecture, is part of the Tokuyama-Kudamatsu Major Port and one of western Japan's most important petrochemical hubs. The port handles primarily crude oil, chemicals, plastics, coal and steel, deeply integrated into the supply chains of the Shunan Petrochemical Complex — home to Tokuyama Corporation, Tosoh, Idemitsu Kosan and Zeon. Two major energy-transition projects are advancing in parallel: Idemitsu, Tokuyama, Tosoh and Zeon are jointly developing a METI-subsidised ammonia import hub at Shunan targeting more than 1 million tonnes per year by 2030 — Japan's largest planned ammonia import project. Alongside, Idemitsu Kosan is building a SAF plant at Tokuyama using HEFA technology with 250,000 kl/year capacity, scheduled for start-up in 2028, among Japan's first large-scale SAF production sites. Several deep-water berths serve tankers and bulk carriers, with direct pipeline connections into the petrochemical complex. Zeon Corp. has also completed a bench-scale facility at Shunan demonstrating production of butadiene from plant-based ethanol, with full-scale operation planned from January 2027, adding another decarbonisation strand to the complex. As a dedicated industrial port, Tokuyama does not handle general cargo or containers; those route via Kobe or Kitakyushu.
