Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals of Somalia from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data identifies sea ports and ferry terminals in Somalia, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-22. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas likely better represented than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Plan maritime logistics routes based on identified port locations.
• Analyze coastal supply-chain infrastructure based on mapped ferry terminals.
• Assess coastal access for humanitarian or development planning based on port data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Last updated on 2026-06-22.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas likely better mapped than remote areas.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
