Minami Honmoku Pier is a state-of-the-art container port development designed to accommodate growing container cargo volumes and the increasing size of container vessels. Construction began in 1990 with the aim of creating a new integrated logistics hub capable of meeting evolving logistics and supply chain requirements.

The MC-1 and MC-2 terminals commenced operations in April 2001. Together, they provide a continuous quay with a water depth of 16 meters and a total length of 700 meters (350 meters × 2 berths). In October 2006, the container terminal area was expanded by 5.4 hectares.

Development of the MC-3 terminal began in January 2007, and the terminal entered service in April 2015. Construction of the MC-4 terminal started in November 2013, followed by the commencement of operations in August 2020. The combined MC-3 and MC-4 terminals feature Japan's largest and only 18-meter-deep quay. The quay extends 900 meters and is equipped with gantry cranes capable of handling vessels up to 24 containers wide. These facilities enable the terminals to accommodate some of the world's largest container ships.

Since April 2021, all four terminals (MC-1 through MC-4) have been operated as a single integrated container terminal. This integrated operation allows flexible use of terminal facilities and maximizes operational efficiency, enabling the port to accommodate a wide variety of vessel sizes, schedules, and international shipping services.

Behind the container terminals, development has continued on an integrated logistics zone that includes distribution centers, logistics warehouses, and freight service facilities. Sales and leasing of reclaimed land parcels began in September 2003, and the area is currently occupied by multiple logistics-related companies.

Accessibility to Minami Honmoku Pier was significantly enhanced in March 2017 with the opening of a second access route and direct connections to the regional expressway network. These improvements have strengthened connectivity with the wider Tokyo Bay area and other port districts in Yokohama.

In addition to its logistics functions, Minami Honmoku Pier serves as an acceptance site for surplus soil and waste materials generated by public infrastructure projects within Yokohama. To ensure long-term waste disposal capacity, a new landfill facility was developed in Block 5 and began accepting waste in fiscal year 2018.
