Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals of Kenya from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data provides a geospatial dataset of sea ports and ferry terminals in Kenya, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, which was last updated on 2026-06-19. Coverage likely reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Optimize maritime logistics routes based on port locations.
• Analyze coastal access and supply-chain networks based on port and terminal infrastructure.
• Plan infrastructure development based on the distribution of mapped maritime facilities.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Released under the ODbL-1.0 license, permitting open use with attribution.

Limitations

• Row count and column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Coverage is dependent on volunteer mapper activity, which may lead to sparse data in remote areas.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
