Switzerland Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

Switzerland's sea ports and ferry terminals exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Modeling maritime logistics networks based on port locations.
• Planning coastal access and infrastructure based on ferry terminal data.
• Conducting supply-chain analysis using port amenity and building information.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly tagged via OSM keys `amenity`, `building`, or `port`.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
