What the functions mean

The "Functions" column decodes the UN/LOCODE 8-position function classifier. A location can serve more than one transport function:

• Port — any sea, river or lake port for waterborne transport.
• Rail terminal — a rail freight/cargo terminal.
• Road terminal — a road freight/cargo terminal.
• Airport — a location with an airport.
• Postal exchange — a postal exchange office.
• Multimodal — an inland clearance depot or multimodal function (ICD/dry port).
• Fixed transport — a fixed transport function such as an oil or gas pipeline terminal.
• Border crossing — a border crossing point.

The "Status" column shows how the entry was approved (for example, Approved by a competent national government agency or Recognised location).

What do the UN/LOCODE function codes mean?

Each UN/LOCODE entry has an 8-position function classifier. In order, the positions are: Port, Rail terminal, Road terminal, Airport, Postal exchange, Multimodal (inland clearance depot), Fixed transport (e.g. pipeline), and Border crossing. A position is active when it is not a hyphen or a zero, so one location can combine several functions.
