During the change all the business activities of the earlier MAHART-Freeport Co. Ltd. were obtained by the Freeport of Budapest Logistics Ltd. along with the related rights and obligations. Besides the properties all the invested and current assets got to the Freeport of Budapest Logistics Ltd. including the business share of the subsidiaries of the legal predecessor Company.
The mainland area operated by the Freeport of Budapest Logistics Ltd. providing full port services is about 108 hectares . In its three operating basins there are 18 ship stands. There is a covered warehouse area of 115,000 sqm within the Port. The company operates a private railway and ship factory and there is a Ro-Ro terminal within the Port.
In 2005 the Port became a national public traffic port.
The bulk and piecewise traffic of the Company in 2004 came up to 1.392 thousand tons. The traffic of the container terminal ? measured by the number of the paid liftings ? it was almost 132 thousand TEU meaning an increase of more than 30% compared to the previous year.
One of the main activities of the Freeport of Budapest Logistics Ltd. consists of property renting within which there is a free area of 240 thousand sqm, covered storing area of 76 thousand sqm and 3 thousand sqm office area used by more than 70 lessees.
