Rationale
This proposal tries to make a first step in recognizing a common ground in marine tagging between OSM and OpenSeaMap tackling a small topic. From the Tag:landuse=harbour page: "The land areas serving a port or harbour should more properly have landuse=* tag values with their specific usage (port_terminal, ferry_terminal, container_terminal, shipyard, wharf, quay, etc.)."
Instead of using many values for the landuse key (or the common tagging for the rendering of landuse=industrial), the proposal recommends the only value port alongside more specific keys.
Updated 07/07/14 with more precise defintion.
Difference between harbour and port
Harbour: A natural or artificially improved body of water providing protection for vessels, and generally anchorage and docking facilities.
Port: A place provided with terminal and transfer facilities for loading and discharging cargo or passengers, usually located in a harbour.
landuse=harbour should be used to enclose the harbour area, landuse=port instead should be used to map in detail each facility.
Tagging
landuse=port on the area, defining the category port=* and eventually the handled cargo cargo=*. To describe the location use port:type=*.
Inspiration from the IHO Definition (latest doc file) and are similar to seamark:harbour:category
Port categories
| CATHAC category | value | Definition | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo terminal | A terminal for handling cargo (See cargo=*). | port=cargo | |
| RoRo-terminal | roro | A terminal for roll-on roll-off ferries. | port=roro |
| Seaplane terminal | seaplane | A terminal for seaplanes. | port=seaplane |
| Fishing harbour | fishing | A harbour with facilities for fishing boats. | port=fishing |
| Naval base | naval | A centre of operations for naval vessels. | Naval_base |
| Ferry terminal | ferry | A terminal for passenger and vehicle ferries. | Tag:amenity=ferry_terminal |
| Passenger terminal | passenger | A terminal for the loading and unloading of passengers. | Tag:amenity=ferry_terminal |
Cargo extension
| CATHAC category | value | Definition | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tanker terminal | tanker | A terminal for the bulk handling of liquid cargoes. | cargo=liquid_bulk |
| Container terminal | container | A terminal for container ships. | cargo=container |
| Bulk terminal | bulk | A terminal for the handling of bulk materials such as iron ore, coal, etc. | cargo=dry_bulk |
| General cargo terminal | cargo | A terminal for handling general cargo. | cargo=general |
port:type
To distinguish different port types.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| seaport | "Normal" port (implicit) |
| dryport | Inland port directly connected to a seaport, where can be performed customs operations |
| deep_water | The water depth can allow berthing of bigger vessels |
| inland_port | On river or lakes |
Multiple values handling
If you need to assign multiple values, consider modifying the tags as the following example: cargo=container;general becomes cargo:container=yes + cargo:general=yes

- I approve this proposal. but strongley suggest to clarify the chapitre "Difference between harbour and port" to be compatible with landuse=harbour and explaining that port is adminstrative area and should contain all harbours and port facilities in this port --Nounours77 (talk) 11:45, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

- I approve this proposal. -- but suggest changing "Naval_base" to "naval_base", for consistency HillWithSmallFields (talk) 08:58, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, it's unclear that part, I should edit... It's a link to the existing tag https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Naval_base --Sarchittuorg (talk) 09:57, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
I oppose this proposal. -- It should be clear how this affect existing use of other transport-related land use tags (harbour, railway, highway, etc). I do not disagree in the purpose per si. --Skippern (talk) 00:00, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- It could be dealt in a section if you want... :-) It could be drawn a sketch for example --Sarchittuorg (talk) 09:41, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
