Australian National Maritime Facilities: Major Ports and Ferry Terminals

Maritime facilities data provides spatial locations for major ports and public ferry terminals across Australia and its territories. The dataset is published by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated on 30 April 2026. Feature attribution complements the spatial data, though specific attributes are not detailed in the available metadata.

Use Cases

• Map national maritime infrastructure networks based on the spatial locations of ports and terminals.
• Analyze regional accessibility to public ferry services based on terminal locations.
• Conduct site suitability analysis for new maritime facilities based on existing spatial distribution.
• Integrate port locations into supply chain or economic models based on the attributed features.

Strengths

• Spatial coverage includes Australia and its territories.
• Data is attributed with feature information, as mentioned in the description.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded (2026-04-30 12:28:27.148033).

Limitations

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