The East Wharf, which is a recycling base for all of Central Hokkaido, mainly processes metal scrap and construction aggregate such as sand and gravel.  The metal scrap is exported overseas as a reusable resource.

From this base, petroleum products such as LPG, kerosene, light oil and gasoline are received and supplied to Central Hokkaido via tanker trucks. Hokkaido’s only liquefied natural gas (LNG) import base has also been established here. LNG is a raw material for municipal gas, and is distributed all over Hokkaido via tankers trucks and domestic vessels.
