Lebanon Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

An OpenStreetMap export from March 2026, this dataset contains geospatial features for ports and ferry terminals in Lebanon. It was created by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and includes attributes such as name, address, and operator type. The data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON and Shapefile.

Use Cases

• Map port infrastructure locations based on the 'port' and 'building' tags.
• Analyze port naming conventions and multilingual labels based on the 'name', 'name:en', and 'name:ar' attributes.
• Identify port operators and management types based on the 'operator:type' attribute.
• Geocode port addresses for logistics planning based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' fields.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple standard geospatial formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML.
• Includes multilingual name attributes ('name:en', 'name:ar') for localization.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative and openly licensed mapping project.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap volunteer contributions.
