Rwanda Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

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

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime logistics networks based on port locations.
• Analyzing coastal access and supply-chain resilience based on ferry terminal data.
• Planning infrastructure development based on the spatial distribution of port amenities.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Derived from a well-known, collaborative mapping source (OpenStreetMap).
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded (2026-05-14 23:32:24.623840).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• OpenStreetMap completeness varies, so data may be incomplete for remote areas.
