Turkey Sea Ports: OpenStreetMap Maritime Infrastructure Export

Turkey maritime infrastructure data featuring ports and ferry terminals extracted from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The dataset, updated in March 2026, provides localized attributes and coordinates for facilities across the country.

Use Cases

• Spatial distribution analysis of maritime hubs using the port and amenity tags
• Identifying administrative jurisdictions for terminals using the addr:city and addr:full fields
• Categorizing facility management types through the operator:type attribute

Strengths

• Provides data in four formats: SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, and KML
• Includes localized naming in Turkish (name:tr) and English (name:en)
• Utilizes standardized OSM tagging for amenity=ferry_terminal and port features

Limitations

• Crowdsourced nature may lead to inconsistent attribute population for operator:type
• Geographic coverage is limited to features tagged in OpenStreetMap, which may omit smaller private docks
