Alas, I did not save the link to the article which made that assertion. When I state what I believe to be a fact, rather than my opinion, I strive to always have research to back it up.

However, I recall that the article that I had read did not limit its computation to container traffic, but went on to discuss other traffic, such as cruise lines, pleasure boats, and military vessels. Apparently, our Navy uses the port extensively.

In any event, since I can't locate my source, I recant the claim, and just observe that Tokyo is a busy sea port.
