AM Prefix and Three Characters
Armenia uses the country prefix AM in the UN/LOCODE system. The indexed code AMYER combines the country prefix with the three-character location identifier YER.
Armenia has 1 ports and terminals indexed in the Ecer Freight database; as a landlocked country, it relies on inland corridors linking Yerevan with seaports in neighboring and regional countries.
Armenia is an inland freight market rather than a coastal port state. Ocean cargo is generally moved by road or rail between Yerevan and regional gateway ports, with routing, border conditions and equipment availability subject to confirmation.
Armenia has no coastline or seaport authority of its own. The indexed location is a land-based logistics reference, while international sea freight is typically connected through ports in Georgia, Turkey and other regional gateways.
How many seaports does Armenia have?
Armenia has 1 seaports and terminals indexed by Ecer Freight in its country database. Armenia is landlocked, so this indexed location should be understood as an inland logistics reference rather than a coastal seaport.
What is the largest or busiest port listed for Armenia?
Yerevan, identified by UN/LOCODE AMYER, is the only Armenia location indexed in the Ecer Freight sample. It functions as an inland cargo and distribution reference, not as a maritime container port.
Which area handles Armenia's main sea-freight connections?
The Yerevan logistics area, represented by AMYER, is the principal indexed inland origin. Sea freight is generally connected onward through regional gateways such as Poti or Batumi in Georgia, subject to route and border conditions.
This table separates Ecer Freight indexed coverage from global maritime-port league tables. Because Armenia is landlocked, the indexed location has no directly attributable national seaport TEU throughput or maritime world rank.
Armenia indexed freight locations, with 2025 maritime throughput where applicable
| World rank | Port | UN-LOCODE | 2025 throughput (M TEU) | YoY change | Region |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | Yerevan | AMYER | — | — | Yerevan inland logistics area |
Yerevan is the only Armenia location in the supplied indexed sample and serves as the principal inland reference for cargo consolidation, distribution and onward movement to regional seaports.

Armenia-wide movements commonly connect factories, warehouses and consignees to the Yerevan logistics area before continuing toward external maritime gateways. No additional location is present in the supplied Ecer Freight sample.

The regional seaports used for Armenia-bound ocean freight are outside Armenia and are therefore not included in this country table. Transit selection depends on origin, destination, border policy and carrier routing.

Armenia uses the country prefix AM in the UN/LOCODE system. The indexed code AMYER combines the country prefix with the three-character location identifier YER.
A city or inland logistics code can represent a broader transport location, while a terminal-level code identifies a more specific operating point. AMYER is presented here as the indexed Yerevan location, not as a coastal terminal.
Verify location identifiers against the UNECE UN/LOCODE framework and compare them with the Ecer Freight port directory before booking or preparing shipping documents.
Armenia's sea-freight lanes are multimodal: cargo first moves overland from the Yerevan area to an external seaport, then continues by ocean service. Transit times are indicative and subject to carrier schedules, border processing and equipment availability.
A common regional pattern connects Yerevan-area cargo with Georgian Black Sea gateways before ocean export or import movement.
Cargo can be trucked through regional corridors to Mediterranean gateways for connections to Europe, North Africa and other long-haul markets.
European shipments may combine inland transport with Black Sea or Mediterranean ocean services and onward delivery to the final consignee.
Asia- and Middle East-bound cargo generally uses a regional gateway selected according to vessel schedules, border conditions and the required final delivery point.
Editorial note: Armenia is a landlocked country, so this page distinguishes Ecer Freight indexed coverage from maritime port statistics. Location codes are checked against established UN/LOCODE references, while transport and trade context is reviewed against available official and institutional sources. The page is updated quarterly, with operational schedules and transit times subject to carrier confirmation.
