Morocco Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals with Multilingual Names

This geospatial dataset catalogs sea ports and ferry terminals across Morocco, exported from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) in March 2026. It captures infrastructure features identified by port and ferry terminal tags, including administrative details and multilingual naming conventions.

Use Cases

• Analyzing maritime logistics hubs using the port and operator:type attributes
• Developing regional navigation tools using name:ar and name:ber for local language support
• Spatial distribution analysis of ferry infrastructure using the amenity=ferry_terminal tag

Strengths

• Multilingual name attributes in English, Arabic, and Berber
• Six export formats including SHP, GeoPackage, and KML
• Specific infrastructure tagging for both ports and ferry terminals

Limitations

• Crowdsourced data source may result in variable attribute accuracy
• Unknown total record count
• Potential for duplicate entries if features are mapped as both points and polygons
