Measured from public AIS data: time spent at anchor inside the port area by commercial vessels (IMO number, 100 m and longer), with bunkering anchorages excluded from the headline figure. It covers all anchorage time — including waiting for orders — not only the queue for a berth, so it is a different measure from the berth-queue figures published elsewhere and can read higher or lower than them. Ships that went straight to a berth are not in the median at all, so the share of calls that anchored is the denominator it should be read against — it is not comparable with a figure averaged over every arrival, or with whole-turnaround time. This is a dated snapshot; the live Port of Yokohama tracker updates continuously.
Port of Yokohama anchorage time by ship type — last 30 days (as of 8 Oct 2026, UTC)
| Ship type | Anchorage stays | Median time at anchorage |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo | 1098 | 13.5 hours |
| Tanker | 406 | 15.2 hours |
| Container | 52 | 14.8 hours |
| Passenger | 35 | 3.5 hours |
Same measurement as the headline figure — commercial vessels with an IMO number, 100 m and longer, measured from public AIS — grouped by the ship type each vessel broadcasts. Stays are tracked for at most 72 hours; where a share reaches that cap, the median understates the tail.
About Port of Yokohama
Port of Yokohama is Japan's second-largest container port and one of the busiest in the Asia-Pacific region, handling over 3 million TEUs annually. Located in Tokyo Bay, it serves as a critical hub for Japanese automotive, electronics, and consumer goods exports.
Strengths
- Part of the Keihin industrial zone — one of Japan's largest manufacturing, automotive, and export hubs
- Dedicated RoRo terminals for vehicle exports, reflecting Japan's dominant position in global automotive trade
- Proximity to Tokyo's consumer market and world-class logistics infrastructure
- Reliable, highly organised port operations consistent with Japanese industrial standards
Operational challenges
- Tokyo Bay approach is shared with the Port of Tokyo and Kawasaki, creating channel congestion during peak periods
- Smaller scale than Asia's mega-ports limits the frequency of direct deep-sea service calls
- Competes with Kobe and Osaka for cargo destined for western Japan, which can fragment services
Frequently asked questions about Port of Yokohama
What is the vessel waiting time at Yokohama port?
The table on this page gives the measured median by ship type for the last 30 days. Yokohama shares Tokyo Bay with the ports of Tokyo, Kawasaki and Chiba, and the anchorages are not cleanly divided between them, so a small share of what we measure may belong to a neighbour. About 36% of Yokohama port calls anchor at all — a high share by our measurements, second only to Hamburg.
What cargo does Yokohama port handle?
Yokohama is a major hub for Japanese automotive exports (vehicles and parts), electronics, and general consumer goods. The Honmoku and Minami-Honmoku container terminals handle deep-sea container traffic.
What is the JPYOK port code?
JPYOK is the UN/LOCODE identifier for the Port of Yokohama, Japan. It is used in shipping documentation, AIS vessel destination fields, and port EDI systems to identify Yokohama as a port of call.
What does a delay at Yokohama cost?
Every hour a vessel waits outside Port of Yokohama accrues demurrage. The free Yokohama live demurrage cost counter converts the current anchorage queue into an estimated hourly and daily cost using vessel-type day rates, and the demurrage calculator lets you price your own container or voyage delay.
