Message from President and CEO

Leveraging the unique strengths of the Ports of Yokohama and Kawasaki, and pursuing growth through the maintenance and increasing of international major shipping routes

Takuji Nakai President & CEO

Yokohama Kawasaki International Port Corporation (YKIP) was established in January 2016 as the port managing and operating company of Keihin Port. Supported by capital contributions from the Government of Japan, the City of Yokohama and the Kawasaki City, and private financial institutions, we have developed and operated container terminals—including the Minami-Honmoku Pier, capable of accommodating the world’s largest container vessels. Through these initiatives, we believe we have helped bolster Japan’s industrial competitiveness and economic growth.
Today, as global supply chains are realigned and the transition to a decarbonized society accelerates, the roles expected of ports are becoming ever more sophisticated and diverse. We will further enhance Yokohama Port’s functions as an international hub where core shipping routes converge, while sharpening Kawasaki Port’s strength as a comprehensive logistics center anchored by Japan’s largest cluster of refrigerated and frozen warehouses—striving to create ports that are chosen worldwide.
Staying true to the objectives of the Strategic International Container Port Policy of the national government, we will continue to pursue flexible and strategic port management aimed at maintaining and increasing international major shipping routes, thereby contributing to stronger industrial competitiveness and the further prosperity of Japan.
We respectfully ask for your continued support and cooperation.
