About this page

This page announces Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's "Port Labor Shortage Countermeasures Action Plan 2025," established in June 2025. Following the 2022 plan, a January 2025 survey revealed anticipated chronic port labor shortages, requiring stronger measures. The new plan has three pillars: enhancing port industry appeal through PR and supporting retired Self-Defense Force members' reemployment; improving business transactions by requesting fair pricing and developing guidelines; and enhancing safety and working conditions for women and elderly workers through remote-controlled cargo handling technology and improved labor environments. The plan aims to maintain sustainable, stable port logistics services over approximately three years.
