The port of Dunaújváros is one of the most important inland ports on the Hungarian section of the Danube, closely linked to the city's industrial development. It was primarily designed to supply the massive steelworks (now Liberty Steel), transporting raw materials such as iron ore and coal cost-effectively via the waterway. The port facility features high-performance infrastructure with vertical quays, cranes, and extensive storage areas for bulk goods. In addition to heavy industry, the port now also serves the transshipment of grain and other agricultural products from the Central Transdanubia region. Due to its location on the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, the port is a significant hub for international shipping between the North Sea and the Black Sea. In recent years, investments have been made to accelerate loading processes and make the port accessible to larger vessel types. The trimodal connection to rail and road further enhances the logistical attractiveness of the site.
