Bangladesh Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

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

Use Cases

• Modeling maritime logistics networks based on port locations.
• Analyzing supply-chain resilience based on coastal infrastructure data.
• Planning coastal access and development based on ferry terminal locations.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project, allowing for community updates.

Limitations

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