Costa Rica Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide sea ports and ferry terminals for Costa Rica, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of this volunteer-built map varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote coastal locations.

Use Cases

• Optimizing maritime supply-chain routes based on port locations.
• Planning coastal infrastructure and access based on ferry terminal data.
• Analyzing regional maritime logistics coverage based on the OSM export.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• OpenStreetMap completeness varies by region; remote coastal areas may be incompletely mapped.
