Baja Public Port is the second most important Hungarian port of the Main-Rhein-Danube waterway system. Baja has a centuries-old tradition of shipping and port operation. It played a distinguished role as a transit station in the trade directed at the Far-East. The completion of the Danube-Main Channel resulted in intensified traffic from the South to the North, with ships under German, Belgian and Dutch flags sailing the Danube in increased numbers.
