Accessibility: Travel Time-Cost to Major Maritime Ports (Mozambique - ~ 500m)

The accessibility to ports dataset is modeled as raster-based travel time/cost analysis. The following ports are included: Maputo, Beira, Nacala, Quelimane, Pemba. The model travel time/cost from/to ports is defined for major maritime ports only.

This 500m resolution raster dataset is part of FAO's Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) aimed at the identification of value chain infrastructure sites (optimal location).
