Nagoya Port Coal Terminal, also known as Tokai Motohama Pier (東海元浜ふ頭) is the main coal and iron ore import terminal of the Port of Nagoya in Tōkai, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, serving Nippon Steel's Nagoya Works. According to the Nagoya Port Authority, most of the iron ore and coal handled at the port is imported through the pier, where large unloaders can discharge up to about 168,000 tonnes per day.[3] The steelworks it supplies was founded as Tokai Steel in September 1958.[4] In 2024 the Port of Nagoya imported 5,477,291 freight tons of coal, up 3.2% from the previous year and equal to about 8.1% of the port's international imports.[5][6] Coal imports fell 4.3% year on year to 2,525,846 tonnes in the first half of 2025.[7] The port does not publish the origin of its coal imports, but Nippon Steel sources coking coal mainly from Australia, where it holds stakes in several mines, as well as from Canada and the United States.[8]
