More a regional industrial harbour than an ocean container gateway, Kochi Ko (JP KCZ) sits on the Pacific shore of Shikoku in Kochi Prefecture. Local industries around Urado Bay run private berths for cement, minerals, timber and shipbuilding, while the Kochi Shinko (New Port) and Nakamura Wharf handle containers and general cargo. Annual container capacity is around 250,000 TEU, but actual throughput runs well below that, under 100,000 TEU. A weekly service links the port directly with Busan (South Korea), while other boxes move by feeder through the Kansai gateways of Osaka and Kobe toward China; deep-sea carriers do not call directly. Hinterland distribution relies on Shikoku's expressways and rail rather than inland waterways. Shippers needing mainline container connections or larger import volumes are better served via Kobe or Osaka.
