Landlocked means "locked in by land" -- having no border on the ocean or a sea. Countries that are landlocked have no seaports, except those on rivers that lead to the sea through other countries.

This is sometimes unclear when there are large inland lakes or seas, or when a narrow strait or estuary connects to the sea.
