Below is another helpful definition/explanation:

A landlocked country is one that is surrounded on every border by land. Disadvantages of landlocked countries:
 * 1) No sea territory, so there is poor fishing industry and trade links. Access to sea exploration is limited.
 * 2) Conflict is more possible if the relationship with your neighbours is damaged.
 * 3) To enter a landlocked country, you must travel through other countries; therefore freedom of movement is limited or regulated.
 * 4) Health- diseases can spread if not contained.
 * 5) High trade costs- pay to export and import goods.
 * 6) Prime target for terrorism as surrounded by land.
 * 7) Fear of invasion too as border security may be weak
