Angolan Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide geospatial data on sea ports and ferry terminals in Angola, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export on HDX, last updated on 2026-05-10. Data completeness likely varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Optimizing maritime logistics routes based on port locations.
• Analyzing coastal supply-chain networks based on ferry terminal data.
• Planning coastal infrastructure and access based on geospatial port features.

Strengths

• Data is provided in a standard geospatial format (GEOPACKAGE).
• Sourced from a well-known, collaborative mapping project (OpenStreetMap).
• Explicitly tagged for maritime features (`port`, `amenity`, `building`).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data completeness varies by region, as noted in the description.
