About This Seaport
Iron ore, coking coal, liquefied natural gas and steel products are the cargo that moves across Tobata, an industrial port within Kitakyushu on Dokai Bay in northern Kyushu (UN/LOCODE JP TBT). Its defining feature is Nippon Steel's Yawata Works: a dedicated ore-and-coal berth handles bulk carriers up to roughly 250,000 dwt at around 16 m draught. The Tobata LNG terminal, with about 7.6 million tonnes of annual import capacity, feeds the steel and chemical industries and power generation. This makes Tobata a bulk and industrial port rather than a public container gateway; standardised box traffic uses the neighbouring Kitakyushu port facilities such as Hibikinada, Moji and Tachinoura, or Hakata. Inland distribution relies on the Japanese expressway and freight-rail network around Kitakyushu. Forwarders with project cargo, dry bulk or mill supplies for the steel sector are well placed here; for FCL containers, the Hibikinada container terminal is the practical choice.
