2017 PORT OF OMAEZAKI IN TERN A TIO N A L M ULTIPURPO SE TERM IN A L Port of Omaezaki Message from the Governor Throughout history, the Port of Omaezaki, located at the mouth of Suruga Bay, has served as a port of shelter for boats passing through the area. In 1951, it was designated as a regional port under the Ports Act, before being designated as an Important Port in 1975. Up through the present day, it has seen a great deal of development. Over the years, the Port of Omaezaki has seen a gradual expansion in the range of its operations. This can be seen in the opening of a regular shipping route with so-called RORO ships in 1991, which allowed for the transportation of large amounts of cargo and the reduction of distribution costs, and the beginning of assembled automobile exports in 1997, to name just a few examples. More recently, in January 2004, the port’ s container crane-equipped international distribution terminal began operation. In October of the same year, the first foreign container ship called at the port. Currently, in addition to the shipping routes connecting Omaezaki with China, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, the port also hosts what are known as “feeder routes,” which export goods abroad indirectly through other domestic ports. On top of this, the transportation system of the area around the Port of Omaezaki continues to expand. The construction of the Shin-Tomei Expressway and the building of the Sagara-Makinohara Interchange on the Tomei Expressway have served as boons to the transportation system, complementing the 2009 opening of Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport, Shizuoka Prefecture’ s gateway to the skies. Further work on local infrastructure also continues to proceed smoothly, including the planned expansion of Kanaya-Omaezaki Road and National Route 150, two pillars of the local economy, to four lanes. As the center of this network that supports the distribution of goods throughout western-central Shizuoka Prefecture, the Port of Omaezaki bears significant importance to a large number of people. As I have described, the Port of Omaezaki’ s optimum location with both the entrance of Suruga Bay and the Pacific Ocean close at hand is augmented by its thorough transportation network encompassing land, air, and sea. These features make it an efficient hub for the shipment of cargo, both from the world to Japan and Japan to the world. I invite everyone to take full advantage of these features and use the Port of Omaezaki.
