It is the home of Imabari Shipbuilding, Japan's largest shipbuilding group, and the centre of the celebrated Imabari towel trade, which accounts for roughly 60 percent of national output. The port handles shipyard-related cargo, coastal traffic and breakbulk, and runs numerous ferry links to the surrounding islands and the mainland.
