As the volume of containerized cargo handled around the world continues to in-crease, ports and harbors are playing an increasingly important role in both economic and logistical terms. Japan is no exception to this trend. Its ports of Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka serve in important roles in Japan’s logistics and international trade. Nevertheless, Japanese ports are currently unable to keep up with global container demand growth efficiently. Therefore, as described herein, based on cooperative game theory, the current situation of Japanese ports is studied, especially in terms of the international container strategic port policy begun in 2010 and alliances among ports. A study case was developed based on direct interviews, which, complemented by reviewed literature, reveals several facts related to the possibility for alliances among Japanese ports. Cooperative game theory was applied to elucidate the cores for three players in Tokyo Bay: Port of Tokyo, Port of Yokohama, and Port of Kawasaki. Finally, the study case results and the formulation of analysis as a cooperative game are discussed.
