Harbour

A harbour (also port, North American English Harbor) is a place where ships, boats, and barges can seek shelter from stormy weather. This article describes some of the many features associated with a harbour and the approach from the sea.

An facility in which smaller pleasure boats and yachts are moored should not be tagged as a harbour, and should be tagged using leisure=marina instead. Similarly a naval base should be tagged with military=naval_base and not with harbour.

Mapping a harbour

Create a node tagged with harbour=yes. The private land area of the harbour site should be tagged using landuse=harbour. The name=* should be the set to the official name for the harbour in the local language. An alternative name can be put in alt_name=*. A large harbour may consist of a number of separate basins which many have their own names.
