Gibraltar Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap provides sea ports and ferry terminals for Gibraltar, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team exports this data in multiple geospatial formats. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas usually well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Optimizing maritime supply-chain routes based on port locations.
• Analyzing coastal access and infrastructure for planning purposes.
• Mapping ferry terminal networks for transportation studies.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Explicitly tagged for maritime features using OSM keys `amenity`, `building`, and `port`.

Limitations

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