Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals in Gambia from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports of sea ports and ferry terminals in Gambia, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this dataset, last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime logistics networks based on port locations.
• Analyzing coastal access and infrastructure for planning based on ferry terminal data.
• Conducting supply-chain analysis using the spatial distribution of ports.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative mapping project.
• Explicitly tagged with OSM keys (`amenity`, `building`, `port`) for consistent identification.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
