Niihama (Port Code:JPNMA) is situated on the north coast of Shikoku in the Inland Sea. The port is divided into Areas, numbered 1-4. The port offers good sheltered anchorage and comprises private and public wharves. Commodities handled include coal, timber and general cargo.
Originally a small fishing village, it grew after 1691 as a transit port for copper from an inland copper mine to Ōsaka. The foundation of modern smelting works (1883) and a hydroelectric company (1913) laid the basis of present industrialization in the city. The port was enlarged for the importation of foreign copper ores, and in the 1970s Niihama was the core of the East Ehime New Industrial City Program, producing copper, aluminum, chemicals, and machinery.
