Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Democratic Republic of the Congo sea ports and ferry terminals exported from OpenStreetMap, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port`. The data was compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and last updated on 2026-05-22. OpenStreetMap is a collaborative, volunteer-built map where completeness varies by region.

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime logistics networks based on port locations.
• Analyzing coastal access for humanitarian or development planning based on ferry terminal data.
• Conducting supply-chain vulnerability assessments based on port infrastructure data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely used, free, and collaborative mapping platform.
• Last updated on 2026-05-22, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

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