The Danube port in Bratislava was of extraordinary importance due to its location in the Carpathian Gate already in the past, but it developed only after the introduction of steamships in 1818, which facilitated the transport of agricultural products from Hungary to the industrial countries of Western Europe. However, the port only plays a huge role in the economy of socialist Czechoslovakia.
