This is a report on the changes of the characteristics of the Muroran Port on the southern coast of Hokkaido.The history of the development of this port can be divided into the following four periods. The first period is the age of this port as an entry of immigrants (1872-1898). The second period is the age as a shipping port of coal (1899-.). The third period is as the domestic liner port (1907-), and the fourth period is as an international port as an iron industrial port (1950-).The total cargo of the port is 1881 million tons in 1964 ranking eleventh in Japan. The raw materials and products of the iron work (The Fuji Iron Manufacturing Co.) and some other plants associated with the iron work occupy 45% of the total cargo, and the coal for shipping is 30%.The wharfs of the port consist of the private wharfs and the public wharfs, and 91% of the total cargo is handled at the private wharfs of the Fuji Iron Manufacturing Co.
