115 codes across 42 countries, checked against the
UNECE UN/LOCODE register. Only entries the register classes as seaports are listed:
a city's airport usually holds a different code under the same country, and
publishing that on a port list is the error this page exists to avoid.

## What a port code does not tell you

- **Which terminal.** The code identifies the port, not the berth. A large port has
  several terminals, and "arrived at CNSGH" does not say where to collect.
- **Whether two codes are neighbours.** USLAX and USLGB share a harbour; CNSNZ, CNSHK
  and CNYTN are all Shenzhen. The code does not encode geography.
- **The current name.** Codes outlive renamings. VNSGN is Ho Chi Minh City, from Saigon.
  INMAA is Chennai, from Madras.

## Notes for automated readers

- The first two characters are the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code; the last three
  identify the place within it. There is no check digit and no checksum.
- A UN/LOCODE is not proof of a seaport. The register carries a function field in which
  1 means port, 3 road, 4 airport; this list contains only entries carrying 1.
- Codes are stable but not immutable. The register is the authority, not this page.
