Jamaica Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide locations of sea ports and ferry terminals in Jamaica, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of the data varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote coastal locations.

Use Cases

• Optimizing maritime logistics routes based on port locations.
• Analyzing supply-chain resilience based on coastal access points.
• Planning coastal infrastructure development based on existing ferry terminal data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

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; remote areas may be incomplete.
