AT Prefix and Three-Letter Location Code
Austrian UN/LOCODEs begin with the country prefix AT and are followed by a three-character location identifier. For example, Vienna is listed as ATVEN and Linz as ATLNZ.
Seaports in Austria: Port Codes, Throughput & Regional Guide (2026)
Austria has 10 ports and terminals indexed in the Ecer Freight database, with inland-waterway and multimodal gateways supporting Central European supply chains rather than direct maritime access.
Austria is a landlocked country whose principal freight gateways are connected to the Danube, European rail corridors and road networks leading to North Sea and Adriatic seaports.
Austria Port Overview
Austria has no coastline or maritime seaport. Its port infrastructure is therefore centered on inland waterways, especially the Danube, together with rail-linked logistics and dry-port functions. The figures below distinguish Ecer Freight indexed coverage from national infrastructure and traffic statistics.

How many seaports does Austria have?
Austria has 10 seaports and terminals indexed by Ecer Freight, although the country is landlocked and these facilities are primarily inland-waterway, river-port or multimodal logistics locations.
What is Austria's busiest inland freight gateway?
Vienna, identified by UN/LOCODE ATVEN, is generally regarded as Austria's leading inland freight gateway by network relevance and logistics connectivity; precise annual rankings depend on the traffic measure used.
Which area handles the main freight flows in Austria?

Top Ports and Terminals in Austria
Austria does not appear in conventional global seaport container rankings because it has no maritime coastline. The table below lists leading Ecer Freight indexed inland and multimodal locations by database activity order; no comparable 2025 global seaport rank or national TEU league-table figure is assigned.

Austria Port Codes and UN/LOCODEs
City-Level and Terminal-Level Codes
A city-level code may represent a broader logistics area, while a terminal or facility code can identify a more specific operating location. The applicable code should be checked against the booking, customs and transport documents.
How to Verify an Austrian Port Code
Compare the code with the UNECE UN/LOCODE framework and confirm the current listing in the Ecer Freight port directory before shipment instructions are issued.
Shipping from Austria: Main Trade Lanes
Because Austria is landlocked, international sea freight normally combines Austrian road or rail pre-carriage with a maritime leg through a North Sea, Adriatic or Black Sea gateway. Transit times are indicative and subject to routing, terminal handling and customs conditions.
Austria to North Sea Hubs
A common option for containerized exports is rail or truck movement from Vienna or Linz to major North Sea gateways.
Austria to Adriatic Gateways
Southern Austrian cargo can connect by rail or road to Adriatic ports for Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian services.
Austria to Black Sea Connections
Danube-linked cargo may use downstream river and multimodal routes toward Black Sea gateways, subject to water levels and service schedules.
Austria to European Short-Sea Markets
Austrian importers and exporters can combine inland pre-carriage with short-sea services for European distribution.
