Svalbard and Jan Mayen Sea Ports from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for ferry terminals and ports in the Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands region. The dataset is an export from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, last updated in March 2026. Features likely contain attributes such as name, address, operator type, and source information.

Use Cases

• Map maritime infrastructure locations based on the presence of port and ferry terminal tags.
• Analyze port operator types based on the 'operator:type' attribute mentioned in the description.
• Geocode port facilities for routing applications based on address fields like 'addr:full' and 'addr:city'.
• Validate and update OpenStreetMap data for the region based on the documented 'source' field.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, and KML.
• License is clearly defined as ODbL-1.0.
• Last updated on 2026-03-03, indicating recent maintenance.

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.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap contributor coverage.
