Sri Lankan Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

Sri Lankan sea ports and ferry terminals exported from OpenStreetMap, tagged via amenity, building, or port keys. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote coastal areas.

Use Cases

• Modeling maritime logistics networks based on port locations
• Analyzing supply-chain resilience based on port infrastructure data
• Planning coastal access and development based on ferry terminal locations

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON
• Derived from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project, which provides a free base map

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap's volunteer-driven mapping
