South Sudan Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data provides locations of sea ports and ferry terminals in South Sudan, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime logistics networks based on port locations
• Analyzing coastal access for humanitarian supply chains based on ferry terminal data
• Planning infrastructure development based on tagged port and building features

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.

Limitations

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