Coal

The Port consists of the Okiyama area, which holds a quay dedicated to Ube Industries, and the Shibanaka area, which has a public quay. The Okiyama area has one of the largest coal storage yards in Japan. Ube Industries has several facilities nearby, including the Ube Cement Factory and the Ube Chemical Factory. In addition to coal, the area imports, limestone, chemical products, and petroleum-related products.

In December 2014 Japanese utility Chugoku Electric Power and cement producer Ube Industries agreed to work together on transporting coal from Australia's NCIG Coal Export Terminal and Indonesia's Samarinda anchorage to Ube Port.

The port also imports coal from the US.
