ThePort of Nagoya (名古屋港,Nagoyakō), located inIse Bay, is the largest and busiest tradingport inJapan, accounting for about 10% of the total trade value ofJapan. Notably, this port is the largest exporter of cars in Japan and where theToyota Motor Corporation exports most of its cars.[1] It has piers inNagoya,Tōkai,Chita,Yatomi, andTobishima.
Its mascots are Potan and Mitan.
According to Japanese media sources,Kodo-kai, ayakuza faction in theYamaguchi-gumi group, earns large revenues by controlling the stevedoring and warehousing companies at the port.[4]
The Port of Nagoya opened for international trade in 1907.[5]
The Nagoya Port Authority (名古屋港管理組合,Nagoyakō Kanri Kumiai) (NPA) was established on 8 September 1951 as a special local public entity that jointly operates the Port of Nagoya for the city ofNagoya andAichi Prefecture. It has special district authority over the Port of Nagoya, which includes facilities in four different cities and one village.[6]
The president of the NPA alternates every two years between the mayor of Nagoya and the governor of Aichi Prefecture. There are three vice presidents, including an executive vice president, as well as the vice governor of Aichi Prefecture and the vice mayor of Nagoya City. The treasurer of the prefecture acts as the treasurer of the NPA. There are also three auditors: one from the Nagoya Port Assembly, and one each from the city and the prefecture.[6]
The NPA website was attacked via aDDoS attack by a Russian hacker group on 6 September 2022.[7][8] On 7 December, the port renewed a 1988 agreement with thePort of Antwerp-Bruges, creating a "Sisterport/Partnership agreement".[9] The port is the largest exporter of automobiles in Japan.[9]
The Port of Nagoya is serviced byNagoyakō Station on theMeikō Line of theNagoya Municipal Subway, located northeast of thePort of Nagoya Public Aquarium and north of the port itself.
