Landlocked Countries and Transhipping Points

Certain countries are landlocked and so are inaccessible by deep-sea ocean vessels. Import and export goods must be transhipped in other country(ies) by means of truck and/or rail and/or inland waterway (i.e., river, canal or lake) transports.

Certain seaport and country names may contain foreign (non-English) characters. Please use Internet Explorer browser to display the foreign characters properly.

Landlocked country marked with    indicates it can be reached by inland waterway (i.e., river, canal or lake).
