Namibia Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide locations of sea ports and ferry terminals in Namibia, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of the underlying map data varies by region, with urban areas usually well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Plan maritime logistics networks based on port locations.
• Analyze supply-chain resilience based on coastal access points.
• Map coastal infrastructure for regional planning based on ferry terminal data.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
