About This Seaport
Roughly two-thirds of vessel calls at Sakaiminato are general cargo and another quarter tankers, but the port's identity rests on fish: it ranks among Japan's leading fishing harbours, with seafood processing a mainstay of Tottori Prefecture's economy. As the prefecture's principal port on the Sea of Japan, it has run scheduled container services to China and South Korea since 1995 and, from 2004, added a berth for 50,000-tonne ships and the San-in region's first gantry crane. A DBS cargo-passenger ferry has also linked the port across the Sea of Japan to Donghae in Korea and Vladivostok in Russia, though sailings have been interrupted at times. Reefer-dependent seafood traffic is a natural fit here. For high container volumes shippers turn to Kobe, with Maizuru as a regional Sea-of-Japan alternative.
