Vanuatu Sea Ports and Ferry Terminals with Multilingual Attributes

This geospatial dataset captures sea port and ferry terminal locations across Vanuatu, exported from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). Updated in March 2026, the collection identifies maritime infrastructure through specific OpenStreetMap tags including 'amenity', 'building', and 'port'.

Use Cases

• Analyzing maritime logistics by filtering features using the 'port' and 'amenity' tags
• Identifying facility management structures using the 'operator:type' column
• Creating localized maps using the 'name:bis' attribute for Bislama-speaking populations

Strengths

• Multilingual support with specific fields for English, French, and Bislama names
• Available in four interoperable geospatial formats including GeoJSON and KML
• Includes specific infrastructure tags for both ferry terminals and general ports

Limitations

• Crowdsourced data source may result in varying levels of geometric precision
• The dataset lacks a verified record count in the provided metadata
• Limited to features tagged specifically as ports or ferry terminals in OpenStreetMap
