Tools for this tag

An area tagged as landuse=port describes a coastal industrial area where it's handled commercial traffic. Usually the area is operated by a single entity and is focused on a particular type of cargo (for example a container terminal handles loading and discharge of container ships with particular infrastructure).

How to map

The preferred method is to enclose the land area dedicated to the handling of a particular cargo (or traffic) with a way or a multipolygon. The tagging requires landuse=industrial and industrial=port on the area, and it's possible to define the category port=* (and the location with port:type=* ) and eventually the handled cargo cargo=*.

If you used landuse=port, please consider migrating to landuse=industrial + industrial=port.

landuse=port

industrial=port

landuse=harbour
