About This Seaport
Long the shipping point for Shizuoka's famous green tea, Shimizu has grown into one of Japan's smaller full-status international container ports, serving the prefecture from the sheltered waters of Suruga Bay. The earthquake-resistant Shin-Okitsu container terminal offers berths around 15 m deep and can work vessels of roughly 8,000 TEU, supporting annual throughput near 300,000 TEU. Scheduled services connect Shimizu to some 45 ports across 15 countries, concentrated in East Asia. Beyond tea, the port today handles machinery, raw materials, breakbulk, foodstuffs and energy imports. Its naturally protected position and deep-water quays let it accommodate modern container ships despite its compact size. Hinterland traffic moves chiefly along the Tomei Expressway into central Honshu's industrial belt, backed by rail to the Shizuoka region. For very large volumes or direct transpacific strings, Nagoya and Yokohama remain stronger options, leaving Shimizu to serve as an efficient regional gateway.
