Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals of the Cook Islands from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap volunteer mappers tagged sea ports and ferry terminals in the Cook Islands using amenity, building, or port keys. Coverage likely reflects mapper activity, with urban areas better represented than remote regions. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data to HDX, last updating it on 2026-06-27.

Use Cases

• Plan coastal access and ferry routes based on tagged port and terminal locations.
• Model maritime supply chains based on the spatial distribution of port facilities.
• Assess infrastructure coverage gaps for remote islands based on the description of volunteer mapping bias.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• It was last updated on 2026-06-27.

Limitations

• Coverage is described as potentially sparse in remote areas, reflecting volunteer mapper activity.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
