Medium- to long-distance car ferries to Shikoku and Kyushu operated by three companies have been in service at Osaka Nanko, which handles about 1.5 million passengers each year. In 1999, the Osaka Ferry Association made up of the various ferry companies, formed “Osaka Car Ferry Activities Association” in cooperation with Osaka Port Corporation, which is the main managing organization for the terminal, and is engaged in various activities for promoting use of ferries. Our efforts in reducing CO2 emissions for environmental protection are attracting attention as a means for land to maritime transport (modal shift).
When travelling from Osaka to Shikoku or Kyushu, you can board a ferry departing in the evening and arrive at Shikoku or Kyushu the next morning.
