Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals of Chad from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for maritime infrastructure in Chad, tagged via amenity, building, or port keys. The dataset is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-22. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas likely better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime logistics networks based on tagged port and terminal locations.
• Analyzing coastal access for planning based on the spatial distribution of ferry terminals.
• Cross-referencing supply-chain models with the geospatial data for port infrastructure.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Coverage may be sparse in remote areas due to reliance on volunteer mapper activity.
