Port Overview
Tatesaki Port is a strategically positioned maritime facility located in the northern region of Japan, situated in Hokkaido Prefecture. Positioned at 41.4446°N, 140.238°E, the port serves as a critical maritime infrastructure supporting regional economic development and international maritime trade in the northern Pacific rim. Its location provides significant advantages for maritime operations, particularly for vessels navigating the Sea of Japan and connecting Northeast Asian maritime networks.
Geographic Location & Access
Nestled along the western coast of Hokkaido, Tatesaki Port benefits from a naturally protected harbor configuration with excellent approach channels. The port’s geographic positioning offers sheltered maritime access, minimizing navigational challenges typical of northern maritime environments. Characterized by a subarctic maritime climate, the port experiences seasonal variations that require sophisticated maritime management strategies.
The approach channels are well-maintained, providing clear navigation routes with minimal restrictions. Vessels can access the port with relative ease, supported by comprehensive navigational aids and modern maritime infrastructure. The surrounding coastal topography provides natural breakwater effects, enhancing port operational reliability.
