Around 4.1 million tonnes of cargo pass through Ofunato annually, dominated by limestone, cement raw materials, timber and seafood rather than containerised goods. Sheltered within Ofunato Bay on the Pacific coast of Iwate Prefecture, the port mainly serves dry-bulk carriers supplying the regional cement industry. Handling takes place at berths including the Nonoda Wharf, with no established container liner services. Inland distribution relies on the Iwate Development Railway and the road network toward central Honshu. The port was rebuilt and upgraded after severe damage in the 2011 tsunami. Shippers needing container or international breakbulk capacity are better served by Sendai-Shiogama or Kamaishi.
