Afghanistan Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on sea ports and ferry terminals in Afghanistan, last updated 2026-05-12. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and is available in multiple geospatial formats. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote coastal locations.

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime logistics networks based on port and terminal locations.
• Analyzing coastal access and infrastructure for planning purposes.
• Cross-referencing supply-chain models with geospatial port data.

Strengths

• Data is available in six geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON), enabling flexible use.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
