Mexico Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features in Mexico matching tags for ferry terminals or ports. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-03-03. It includes attributes such as name, address, and operator type, and is available in multiple geospatial file formats.

Use Cases

• Mapping port infrastructure locations based on OpenStreetMap tags.
• Analyzing port operator types based on the 'operator:type' attribute.
• Geocoding port facilities using the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' fields.
• Validating or enriching maritime transportation datasets using the 'name' and 'name:es' attributes.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple name variants ('name', 'name:en', 'name:es') which may aid in localization.
• Available in four common geospatial formats (SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, KML) for flexibility.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03-03).
