Greeting / Company Introduction
A bridge for international logistics
connecting Western Japan to the world
The Kobe-Osaka International Port Corporation (HPC) is advancing various measures to strengthen the international competitiveness of Hanshin Port (Kobe Port and Osaka Port). The port has been designated as the International Container Strategic port by the Japanese government and the aim is to strengthen it as a gate port supporting the industry and international logistics of Western Japan, and to lead it to become an international hub port for East Asia.
HPC also functions as a bridge between the authorities and private entities such as the shipping companies and port transportation companies, including by actively making proposals to the national government, Osaka City and Kobe City, which are the shareholders.

Greeting
The Kobe-Osaka International Port Corporation (HPC) was established in October 2014 with investment from the national government, Osaka City, Kobe City and private financial institutions. It was established as a company to oversee container and ferry terminals, primarily in Kobe Port and Osaka Port, with the aim of strengthening the international competitiveness of Kobe Port and Osaka Port. We have worked to raise the standard of the container terminals and to construct a feeder network connecting not only to Western Japan, but also to the various ports of East Asia.
In addition to this, we will also be deepening our contribution to international logistics as a base port for international routes, including by becoming carbon neutral.
As part of the ever-evolving world of international logistics, we will continue to respond to all your needs and will strive to ensure that you can use the Hanshin Port with peace of mind. We will coordinate with national government and the port management body and will work to improve the efficiency of port operations, to enhance the port services, and to work on cargo collection and cargo creation measures for the growth and development of the port business. I therefore ask you all for your support and cooperation.
