Iraqi Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for sea ports and ferry terminals in Iraq, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The dataset was exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of the underlying map data varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime logistics networks based on port locations.
• Analyzing supply-chain resilience based on coastal infrastructure points.
• Planning coastal access and development based on ferry terminal locations.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Explicitly tagged for maritime infrastructure via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys.

Limitations

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