Shiomi Wharf, with storage sheds, warehouses and other modern port facilities, functions as a large wharf for foreign trade, handling 4.25 million tons of cargo in 2005. Quay No.5, located at the end of the wharf, has been developed exclusively to handle heavyweight cargoes; the 720-meter-long, 12-meter-deep berth can accommodate three large 30,000 D.W.T. ships at the same time. Shiomi Wharf, which is constructed to be earthquake-resistant, will serve as a supply base for emergency goods in the event of earthquake or other disaster. The offshore area is currently being reclaimed as part of the Phoenix Project.
