OSAKA
The harbour is under the control of the Municipal Harbour Department. Extensive improvements have been in progress for a number of years and still further plans are to be given effect to. Among them, the reconstruction work of the Port Osaka which was commenced in 1934 is designed for comple- tion by 1940, when a huge outer break-water, length 3,995 meters, will be constructed and water-area protected by it will amount to 5,950,000 square
meters.
By this year, on the other hand, the North Harbour Company is due to enclose an additional marine area of 2,317,000 square meters between the Shinyodo River and the Azi River.
In the near future, it is expected that the Harbour will have been equipped with the most modern appliances and facilities. The present har- bour has berthing accommodation at 37 buoys for ships of 5,000 to 20,000 gross tons. Four landing piers and eight quays, all with sheds and railway facilities, have water depth of 30 feet or over. Floating and fixed wharf cranes and dry docks are available.
The trade statistics of Osaka since the War have shown great growth. The total foreign trade in 1937 consisted of 1,994,739 tons of merchandise valued at Y853,104,864 in exports and 5,508,515 tons at Y835,182,960 in imports
