Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals in the French Southern and Antarctic Territories

OpenStreetMap exports provide a community-sourced inventory of maritime infrastructure for remote territories. This dataset includes features tagged as ports or ferry terminals, with attributes like name, address, and operator type. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team maintains the data, which was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime infrastructure locations based on OpenStreetMap tags for ports and ferry terminals.
• Analyzing port operator types based on the 'operator:type' attribute.
• Geocoding port facilities based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' fields.
• Validating and updating OpenStreetMap data for remote territories based on the 'source' attribute.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoPackage, GeoJSON, and Shapefile.
• Includes multilingual name tags ('name:en', 'name:fr') for international use.
• Last updated on 2026-03-03, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap contributor activity.
