Geospatial data representing the locations of major ports and public ferry terminals across Australia and its territories. The dataset includes feature attribution for each facility. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of ports and ferry terminals for national infrastructure planning.
• Calculate distances between maritime facilities and urban centers using their geographic coordinates.
• Assess feature attribution data to categorize facilities by type or operational status.
• Integrate facility locations with other geospatial layers for coastal zone management.

Strengths

• Covers Australia and its territories, providing national spatial coverage.
• Includes feature attribution data for each maritime facility.

Limitations

• Unknown total number of facilities (row count) and specific data schema.
• Data is served via WMS, limiting direct access to underlying raw attributes for analysis.
