Sea ports and ferry terminals in Uganda, tagged via OpenStreetMap keys `amenity`, `building`, or `port`. The data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map, and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-22.

Use Cases

• Modeling maritime logistics networks based on port and terminal locations.
• Analyzing coastal access for planning based on ferry terminal data.
• Mapping supply-chain infrastructure based on tagged port facilities.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a widely used collaborative mapping project.
• The license is ODbL-1.0, which permits sharing and adaptation with attribution.

Limitations

• Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity; urban areas are likely well represented while remote areas may be sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
