Port Code Lookup Tool (UN/LOCODE Finder)

The Port Code Lookup Tool is a fast UN/LOCODE finder for the world’s major ports. Enter a port name, country or code and the tool instantly returns the matching ports with their five-character UN/LOCODE, country, coordinates and location type. It is an essential quick reference when preparing bills of lading, shipping instructions, invoices and customs documents.

The tool works completely in your browser against a built-in list of the main container and cargo ports, so there is no network call and no waiting.

• Search by port or country: Type a name, a country, or a code to find matches instantly.
• UN/LOCODE results: The five-character code for each matching port.
• Full details: Country, coordinates and location type.
• Copy to clipboard: Copy the code with one click.
• Fast local search: No network calls; results appear as you type.
• Free and private: Your searches never leave the browser.

1. Type a search term — a port name, country or a UN/LOCODE.
2. Review the matching results shown below the search box.
3. Check the UN/LOCODE, country and coordinates for the port you need.
4. Copy the code with the copy button for use in your documents.
5. Clear the search to browse the full list by country.

Example – Preparing a bill of lading: A freight forwarder needs the code for the Port of Rotterdam. Typing “Rotterdam” returns NLRTM. For the discharge port Ningbo in China, typing “Ningbo” or “China” returns CNNGB. Both codes go straight onto the bill of lading.
