Fishing boats, car ferries and market stalls share the waterfront at Yawatahama, a port town in Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku. Its main maritime role is the ferry link across the Bungo Channel to Beppu and Usuki in Kyushu, with up to six car-and-passenger sailings a day of around two hours fifty minutes. The harbour is also a busy fishing base, and cold-storage facilities support perishable cargo, especially seafood and the area's well-known mandarin oranges. General freight stays local — farm produce, manufactured goods and supplies for the surrounding district. There is no confirmed container-line or international break-bulk service here. For boxed or overseas cargo, shippers usually rely on Matsuyama or the larger Seto Inland Sea ports.
