From an inland depot to an inland port

Cargo volumes at OICT and work done to a local customs Police Office led to the Ota Police Office, Tokyo Customs Maebashi Branch being established within OICT in April 2004, with one member of customs staff stationed permanently. OICT has become, both in name and reality, an inland depot connecting North Kanto to the world (Customs bond warehousing, clearers, customs intermediary).

We are also working to transform into an inland port by establishing a new terminal specifically for maritime containers in April 2013.

Our mission as the third sector
As the third sector 25%-owned by Ota City, we aim to provide logistical support to Ota city firms engaged in overseas trade and promote the regional economy, and see our mission as one of pursuing practicality for shippers to increase profits.

Opening of a new maritime container terminal
A growth in maritime container cargo volume to beyond capacity at OICT is continuing, leading to a situation where future expected increases in demand will have to be restricted. Seeking hence to develop our inland depot into an inland port, we will start construction work from August, 2012 aiming at the commencement of business in April, 2013. With the new opening, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has targeted OICT for the Tokyo Yokohama harbour improvement and facility maintenance (grants provided), and has appointed us to oversee Tokyo Yokohama harbor's ancillary facilities. Gunma Prefecture has also presented us as a facility which strengthens logistical predominance of developing the North Kanto belt zone. At the same time, the Mayor of Ota City (and current chairman) feels expectations within the region, to turn the industrial town of "Ota" into a port etc., to be extremely high.
