Nepal Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports of sea ports and ferry terminals in Nepal, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime infrastructure for supply-chain analysis based on port and terminal locations.
• Planning coastal access and transportation networks based on ferry terminal data.
• Analyzing regional maritime logistics capacity based on the distribution of port amenities.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly tagged for maritime infrastructure using OSM keys `amenity`, `building`, and `port`.

Limitations

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