The port handles container commodities, passenger ferries and Ro-Ro vessels, agricultural and fishery products. A new cruise vessel terminal building, called Marine Gateway, has been completed in Naha to handle an increase in domestic and international tourism.

Approx 16,000,000t of cargo, 590,000TEU and 8,000 vessels handled annually.

A quarantine anchorage is established in the vicinity of 26°14.48'N 127° 38.86'E. During storms vessels may seek more sheltered anchorage in Kerama Kaikyo (26°11.09'N 127°19.67'E) or Agonoura Ko (26°14.03'N 127°19.08'E). Anchoring is prohibited in the fairway to the commercial harbour and in the Naha channel downstream of the Meiji Bridge, except in the following circumstances: When the vessel is attempting to avoid a marine accident. When the vessel has lost the ability to manoeuvre. When the vessel intends to give assistance to persons or another vessel in distress. When the vessel has been given permission by the Captain of the Port to carry out work, according to the provisions of Article 31 of the law.

Draught limitation in the channel is 11.0m. Approaches: The main approach channel to Naha Harbour, leads between Asano Bise, a detached reef with a least depth of 2.2m lying 1.5nm N of Omine Saki, and Kanno Bise, parts of which dry 0.6m, 0.6nm NE; then S of Sinko No 1 Breakwater extending from 0.5nm S of the S extremity of Kanno Bise to 0.17nm N of the N extremity of Jijaka Bise and crossing the E end of Kanno Bise. A light is exhibited from each end of the breakwater. Naha Harbour Middle Lightbuoy (Morse "A") is moored 0.8nm NW of Asano Bise and marks the entrance to To Kuchi; then the channel to the entrance to the commercial harbour is marked by three pairs of lightbuoys. Leading lights are exhibited, each from a white framework tower: Front Light, at an elevation of 15m, at the seaward end of a quay on the N side of the commercial harbour. Rear Light, at an elevation of 38m, at the head of the harbour. The lights in line, bearing 127°, lead through To Kuchi and into the harbour entrance. Miyako Kuchi, the S approach channel, is entered between Nakano Asase, a shoal patch 1nm NW of Omine Saki, and Asano Bise, and then between Asano Bise and the reefs fringing the coast N of Omine Saki. This channel is unmarked and should only be used by vessels with local knowledge. A detached breakwater, 340m in length, is situated in the centre of this channel, 1.25nm NNE of Omine Saki. Yamato Kuchi, the N approach channel to Naha Harbour, lies between the N end of Shinko No 1 Breakwater and a detached breakwater 0.35nm NNE. A wave recorder lies 0.7nm W of the entrance lightbuoy. The associated submarine cable is laid E through Yamato Kuchi to the basin entrance, located 0.8nm NNW of Shinko Wharf, then S to the shore. The Inner Channel, marked by lightbuoys, leads S to the outer harbour. Yamato Kuchi may be used by vessels up to 3,000t, but as the navigable width is restricted by a large number of coral reefs, it should only be used at night by vessels with local knowledge.
