Uruguay Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data exports for Uruguay's sea ports and ferry terminals, tagged via `amenity`, `building`, or `port` keys. The dataset is maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Mapping maritime logistics networks based on port locations.
• Analyzing coastal access and infrastructure for planning based on ferry terminal data.
• Conducting supply-chain vulnerability assessments based on the spatial distribution of port facilities.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas likely being incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
