[[File:名古屋港管理組合.jpg|thumb|right|Headquarters of Nagoya Port Authority]]
The {{nihongo|Nagoya Port Authority|名古屋港管理組合|Nagoyakō Kanri Kumiai}} (NPA) was established on 8 September 1951 as a special local public entity that jointly operates the Port of Nagoya for the city of [[Nagoya]] and [[Aichi Prefecture]]. It has special district authority over the Port of Nagoya, which includes facilities in four different cities and one village.<ref name="npa about"/> 

The president of the NPA alternates every two years between the mayor of Nagoya and the governor of Aichi Prefecture. There are three vice presidents, including an executive vice president, as well as the vice governor of Aichi Prefecture and the vice mayor of Nagoya City. The treasurer of the prefecture acts as the treasurer of the NPA. There are also three auditors: one from the Nagoya Port Assembly, and one each from the city and the prefecture.<ref name="npa about"/>  

The NPA website was attacked via a [[DDoS]] attack by a Russian hacker group on 6 September 2022.<ref name="asianews 20220915"/><ref name="russian hackers 202209"/> On 7 December, the port renewed a 1988 agreement with the [[Port of Antwerp-Bruges]], creating a "Sisterport/Partnership agreement".<ref name="porttech 20221213"/> The port is the largest exporter of automobiles in Japan.<ref name="porttech 20221213"/>

==Access==
The Port of Nagoya is serviced by [[Nagoyakō Station]] on the [[Meikō Line]] of the [[Nagoya Municipal Subway]], located northeast of the [[Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium]] and north of the port itself. 

==Notable attractions and events==
The port draws tourists from the [[Chūkyō Metropolitan Area]] as one of its primary tourist attractions. The main attraction is the [[Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium]]. Nearby is also an amusement park and the now-retired Antarctic [[survey ship]] ''Fuji'' which moors at the Port of Nagoya as a museum of the [[South Pole]] and its journeys there.

The [[Isewangan Expressway]] includes three bridges, collectively known as the Meikō Triton, which span the port.

[[Italia Mura]] was located at the port as part of the [[Nagoya Port Garden]] from 2005 until it was finally demolished in 2015. It was an Italy-themed facility with over 60 shops and restaurants, as well as a canal modeled after one in [[Venice]].
