In the early 1900s, the port was used for the large-scale export of tea in Shizuoka.

There are more than 80 berths that weight over 700 tons, including more than 30 berths weighing over 10,000 tons including 5 container berths. On January 31, 2017, in order to improve the overall port passenger reception capacity and attract more international cruise ships to dock, the Japanese government selected 6 ports including Shimizu Port for the special construction of terminal facilities upgrades.

Cruise ship companies can participate in investing in the upgrade or new construction of passenger terminals and other port equipment so that they also have the priority to use the terminal. Of course, other companies and airline operators can also use the terminal. The companies confirmed to participate in the special construction of Shimizu Port include NYK Cruises (a subsidiary of the Japanese cargo shipping corporation Nippon Yusen Kaisha/NYK Line) and RCCL (Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd).
