Hiroshima Port is a maritime international port on the Seto Inland Sea coast of Honshu, positioned on the Ota River delta and approximately 30 km northwest of Kure. Its location between the Kansai and Kyushu regions supports regional distribution, manufacturing supply chains and Japan–Northeast Asia trade. The port record supplied for this page identifies Hiroshima as handling automobiles, LNG, timber, wheat and barley, with cargo vessels forming the majority of recorded vessel calls and tankers representing a significant share. Passenger and international ferry functions are also associated with the Ujina area, while cargo planning must be matched to the confirmed terminal, berth, carrier and inland delivery arrangement. Our service team checks current operating conditions before booking rather than treating historical port parameters as guaranteed acceptance limits.

Terminal allocation, berth restrictions, sailing schedules, cut-offs, equipment availability, charges and cargo acceptance are time-sensitive. Our service team confirms these items with the carrier, terminal, customs broker and inland operator before issuing a binding plan.
