Port of Yokohama Japan in 1983

I joined the CP Ships Fort Carleton on 20 June 1983 at Yokohama for what was a 11 week trip to Silvertown near Tilbury via Fiji – and my next shipping video will feature the Fort Carleton at Fiji.

This video shows parts of the Port of Yokohama, Fort Carleton alongside and then as we leave the port (enroute to Fiji). The Museum of Maritime Science is also very prominent. Various ships are shown including cargo, cruise and container ships (Maersk and Evergreen). Jet planes also fly over into the airport.

The Port of Yokohama is operated by the Port and Harbor Bureau of the City of Yokohama in Japan. It opens onto Tokyo Bay.
It has 10 major piers. Honmoku Pier is the port’s core facility with 24 berths including 14 container berths. Osanbashi Pier handles passenger traffic including cruises, and has customs, immigration and quarantine facilities for international travel.
In 2013, the Port of Yokohama served 37,706 ships. It handled 271m tons of cargo and 2.89m TEU containers. The total value of the cargo was 10,921,656 million Yen.
APM Terminals Yokohama faciltiy at Minami Honmoku was recognised in 2013 as the most productive container terminal in the world averaging 163 crane moves per hour, per ship between the vessel’s arrival and departure at the berth.

The Museum of Maritime Services is a marine science museum located in Higashiyashio Shinagawa Tokyo on Odaiba. Exhibits include Japanese boats, items related to the navy, shipping industry, fishing, sailing, maritime recreation, ship design and building, and the environment of the seas and oceans around Japan. The museum building itself is modelled after the British ocean liner Queen Elizabeth 2.
It was established on 20 July 1974.

The original video was a Cine Film shot on Super 8mm format and converted digitally using a Winait Film Scanner.
