Worldwide list of seaports, version 2021

World list of seaports. In its 2021 version, the repository includes 13709 ports for 187 countries. The list of seaports has been drawn up on the basis of the information available in the European reference system of places used in the framework of the Common Fisheries Policy and, more particularly, by the Electronic Recording and Reporting System (ERS), the list of ports identified by the UNECE (2021-1). An assessment of the infrastructures present along the coastline made it possible to identify other ports that were not listed. Each geographical position has been verified with Google Earth in WGS84. Each port is associated with information relating to the country (ISO 3 coding), the UNECE or ERS 5-character coding, the name, the geographical position in WGS84 (latitude and longitude), the status of the port indicating whether it is referenced by Unece (UNECE), by the EU/ERS (ERS) or by both (UNECE/ERS) In case the port is not referenced by UNECE or ERS, the status is N/A. For French ports, the reference system integrates the ports of the French overseas departments and territories with the national codification. Inland ports have also been integrated in 2021.

Statement: List of referenced ports for the Atlantic, for the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. In its 2019 version, the reference table includes 8799 ports for 75 countries. The list of ports has been established from the information available in the "LOCATION 2.1" reference frame of the Electronic recording and reporting system (ERS), the list of ports identified by UNECE (2018-2). An expertise of the infrastructures present along the coast has made it possible to identify other ports not referenced. Each geographical position has been checked under Google Earth in WGS84. Each port is associated with country information, name, geographic position in wgs84 (latitude and longitude), port status indicating whether it is referenced by Unece and/or ERS, if applicable, its codification UNECE / ERS on 5 characters. For the French ports, the reference table integrates the ports of the Overseas departments and territories with the national codification.
