In 2022, the number of international shipping route stopovers at the Keihin and Hanshin Ports in Japan reached 25 and 11 per week, decreasing compared to the previous year. The number of stopovers suggests a port's relevance for international shipping. Japanese policy aims to maintain ports attractive for stopovers on international routes to service and supply vessels, for example, with LNG.
