Botswana Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for sea ports and ferry terminals in Botswana, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Model maritime supply chains based on port locations.
• Plan coastal access and infrastructure development based on ferry terminal data.
• Cross-reference OSM port data with other logistics datasets for regional analysis.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly tagged using established OSM keys (`amenity`, `building`, `port`).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
