The Port is an integrated international port, handling all types of cargo (general, container, bulk etc.) We are the largest port in Japan in terms of total cargo throughput, which reached 216 million tons in 2007, and counted as one of the five major ports in Japan (Ports of Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe.) We are proud that our port tops all others in Japan in terms of trade value (total export/import value) in Japan, which amounted to 16.7 trillion yen in 2007. This is approximately 10.7% of the nation's total trade value of about 157.1 trillion yen. Of particular note is that the Port of Nagoya accounts for about 61.8% of Japan's total trade surplus of around 10.8 trillion yen.
	The Port's hinterland is home to Japan's automobile industry. We are the No. 1 automobile exporting port in Japan, shipping approximately 1.9 million completed automobiles annually.
