HU Prefix and Three-Letter Location Code
Hungarian UN/LOCODEs begin with the country prefix HU and are followed by a three-character location identifier. Examples in the Ecer Freight index include HUBUD for Budapest and HUDEB for Debrecen.
Seaports in Hungary: Port Codes, Throughput & Regional Guide (2026)
Hungary has 7 ports and terminals indexed in the Ecer Freight database; as a landlocked country, it relies on Danube inland ports and connected European seaports for international maritime trade.
Hungary’s port network is primarily inland and multimodal, with Budapest serving as the principal Danube logistics gateway and regional cargo locations supporting road, rail and river distribution.
Hungary Port Overview
Hungary is an inland country with no ocean coastline. Its port infrastructure is concentrated along the Danube and at inland logistics locations, so maritime containers typically move through connected Adriatic, North Sea or Black Sea gateways before continuing by rail, road or inland waterway.

Hungary Port Regions and Inland Logistics Clusters
Central Danube and Budapest
Budapest is the most prominent indexed Hungarian port location and the main inland-waterway gateway for Danube-linked cargo. It connects river services with national road and rail distribution.
Central Danube locations
| Port | UN-LOCODE | City / Province | Main cargo role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budapest | HUBUD | Budapest / — | Danube-linked general cargo, containers and multimodal distribution |
| Ris Inland Waterways | HUXXX | Ris Inland Waterways / — | Inland waterway and regional cargo activity |
Central Hungary and Transdanubia
The central and western inland cluster supports manufacturing, warehousing and domestic distribution, with road and rail links connecting production areas to Danube services and European seaports.
Central and western inland locations
| Port | UN-LOCODE | City / Province | Main cargo role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaszfenyszaru | HUJAF | — / — | Industrial and inland logistics support |
| Jaszbereny | HUJAS | Jaszbereny / — | Manufacturing-related freight and regional distribution |
| Szekesfehervar | HUSZR | Szekesfehervar / — | Industrial cargo, warehousing and multimodal road-rail flows |
Eastern and Northern Hungary
Eastern and northern locations serve industrial and regional distribution networks. Their ocean freight is generally routed through foreign seaports and then moved inland to Hungarian final destinations.

Hungary Port Codes and UN/LOCODE Structure
City-Level and Terminal-Level Codes
A city-level code can represent a wider logistics area, while a terminal or facility code may identify a more specific operating location. Booking instructions should match the carrier, inland terminal and customs documentation.
How to Verify a Hungarian Port Code
Verify the code against the UNECE UN/LOCODE reference and cross-check the available Ecer Freight port directory at Port Codes before preparing shipping documents.
Shipping from Hungary: Main Trade Lanes
Because Hungary is landlocked, ocean freight planning combines a foreign seaport with an inland destination in Hungary. Transit times are indicative only and depend on routing, equipment, border procedures, vessel schedules and the final-mile carrier.
Hungary to Adriatic Gateways
A common routing for Hungarian import and export cargo uses road or rail to Adriatic gateways, followed by ocean transport or feeder connections.
Hungary to North Sea Gateways
North Sea routings can serve global container networks when schedule frequency, equipment availability or carrier coverage is suitable.
Hungary to Black Sea Connections
Danube-linked and multimodal options may connect Hungarian cargo with Black Sea services, although water levels, seasonal operations and schedules require checking.
Hungary to Asia and Global Markets
Asia-bound cargo normally moves from a Hungarian inland location to a connected European gateway before the mainline ocean leg to Asia or another global destination.
Data Sources and Methodology
The page separates Ecer Freight’s indexed coverage from official national statistics and international port rankings. Hungary’s inland status means that ocean-port TEU league tables do not directly describe the domestic port network.
- Ecer Freight Ports Database — first-party index containing 7 Hungary port and terminal records, snapshot Nov 2026.
- UNECE — UN/LOCODE structure and location-code verification reference.
- Hungarian Central Statistical Office — national transport, freight and regional statistical context, with the latest complete year treated as 2025 where available.
