Yokosuka / Oppama

The historic Sumitomo yard where Seawise Giant was built.

Map pin: an approximate industrial area, not an exact berth or facility boundary.

Historic and shipyard pins indicate approximate areas, not exact berths or navigable routes. Current-vessel pins, when available, show timestamped AIS reports. A missing report does not establish a vessel’s location.

About this place

The historic Sumitomo yard where Seawise Giant was built. Shipbuilding and recycling are industrial activities with specific local conditions; a single map pin cannot capture a yard's layout, docks or compliance record.
