Hong Kong Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap export from March 2026 containing geospatial features for sea ports and ferry terminals in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China. The dataset, provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, includes features tagged as ports, ferry terminals, or related amenities. Attributes likely contain names, addresses, and operational details for these maritime facilities.

Use Cases

• Mapping port infrastructure locations based on OpenStreetMap tags.
• Analyzing ferry terminal distribution and connectivity based on amenity and building tags.
• Geocoding port facilities for logistics models based on address attributes.
• Validating or enriching maritime network datasets based on operator and source information.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the collaborative and openly licensed OpenStreetMap project.
• Includes multiple name attributes (name, name:en, name:zh) for localization.
• Available in several standard geospatial formats (GeoPackage, GeoJSON, SHP, KML).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
