Construction has begun on Hungary's first seaport in Trieste, which will ultimately boast 650 meters of quayside on the Adriatic Sea. Hungary purchased an 80-acre plot of land with sea access for $32 million in 2019. Construction costs will reach $209 million, and the port is expected to be operational in 2028, with an annual capacity of 78,000 TEUs. Initially, a 250-meter quay will be built, which will later be extended by another 400 meters. Statements emphasized the importance of sea access for Hungarian exports, which amount to approximately $155 billion annually, enabling the country to effectively participate in global supply chains.
