Belgian Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

A 2026 export of sea ports and ferry terminals in Belgium, sourced from OpenStreetMap. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which is tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Mapping port infrastructure for maritime logistics based on OSM `port` tags.
• Analyzing coastal access points for planning based on `amenity` and `building` features.
• Conducting supply-chain network analysis using the locations of ferry terminals.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Last updated on 2026-05-14.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially being incomplete.
