Antarctica Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

Antarctica Sea Ports (OpenStreetMap Export) contains geospatial data for sea ports and ferry terminals in Antarctica, extracted from the OpenStreetMap collaborative world map. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-10. It is tagged via OSM keys such as `amenity`, `building`, or `port`.

Use Cases

• Plan maritime logistics and supply routes based on port locations.
• Analyze coastal access and infrastructure for research station support.
• Model supply-chain networks for Antarctic operations based on port and terminal data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely used collaborative mapping project.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-05-10 00:57:24.384451.

Limitations

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