BajaI OKK Kft.
The mission of Baja Public Port is to become the driving force of the Southern-Hungarian border region of the EU not only by promoting waterway and multi-modal transport, but also by creating a liveable socio-economic centre with special attention to the environment – social, economic and natural – and by providing and promoting recreational facilities.
This is to be achieved by establishing the necessary infrastructure and organisation in order to offer maximum utility and service to existing and potential clients, who wish to make use of the waterway and multi-modal transport given opportunities. Supported by an IT system, Baja Public Port is determined to secure a safer and healthier future for the whole region.
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 again, while the Balkan War temporarily disabled southbound traffic completely. Baja – by virtue of its geographical location on the Danube – is directly connected to the world, be it West or East, along the waterways. The town of Baja is the most important traffic junction of the region and of Southern Hungary. Due to its location and the proximity of three countries’ borders Baja can become the logistics centre of the region. In 1992 the Government declared the Port of Baja a Public Port. This means that from that date onwards the State has guaranteed the operation of the port. In 1999 a company was founded to operate the Port on an area extending over almost 21 hectares. Its main task ever since has been to ensure the best possible standard of service according to national and international norms.
The declared aim of Baja Public Port has been to manage the assets entrusted to it by the State in the most profitable way and to become a moving force in the development of not only the town, but also of the whole region. By offering an all-round logistics service and a more cost-efficient transport possibility, it enhances the opportunities and chances for success for local trade and industry, as well as enterprises planning to settle here.
