he Naha Port Authority will take advantage of Naha Port's geographical
advantages to develop it as an international logistics hub and a node of
international logistics, drawing traffic from various locations.
@Naha Port already boasts 24 domestic routes to major Japanese cities
including Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Hakata. Naha International Airport,
located next to the port, is the gateway to Okinawa - Japan's largest marine
resort destination - for visitors arriving by air. More than five million
tourists visit the prefecture every year. The rich network features 21
flights per day to Tokyo, and connection to 23 other cities in Japan as
well as 4 major foreign cities (Taipei, Shanghai, Seoul, and Manila).
Behind the international container terminal is a 7.7ha port-owned land,
which is adjacent to the wharf for domestic cargos, located on the east
side. The Naha Port Authority is going to lease the land to private corporations
through public offering, to improve Naha Port's international logistics
capabilities and benefit from its synergistic effects with the Naha Port
International Container Terminal. |

| An underwater tunnel is currently under construction that will link Naha
Port and Naha International Airport. The tunnel should significantly improve
the synergy between the port and the airport (expected to open in 2011).
Also, to accommodate the increasing number of tourists, an airport expansion
plan that includes a second runway is being deliberated, which should enhance
the airport's logistics capabilities dramatically. |

| There is a free trade zone of 2.6ha next to Naha Airport, and another special
free trade zone of 122ha located at Nakagusuku Bay, 15km away from Naha
Port. Business in these zones are granted special privileges, such as investment
tax exemption and special amortization policies in the free trade zone;
a reduced corporation tax rate in the special free trade zone also. As
East Asia's logistics hub, Naha Port is looking into the possibilities
of introducing similar free trade policies to promote the logistics industry. |
