<![CDATA[I'm experimenting with rendering docks on my vector map style.]]>I'm experimenting with rendering docks on my vector map style. It wouldn't work at first, but now it does 🙂

Unfortunately, does not provide a subclass, so there is no way to select only desirable areas - dry docks and haul-out style docks.

Docks haven't been rendered on any (ot me) known maps apart from poi's, typically with an anchor and possibly a name.

Fun fact: In a few places, mappers actually created buildings to display dry-docks.

Examples: Frederiksøen in Svendborg, with three dry-docks and a haul-out dock.
And Aberdeen, where the tag is used on overlapping areas - probably a mistake - to show the industrial harbour area and name certain parts of it.

I *think* the Aberdeen usage is wrong, reading the wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Ddock. Alternatives for naming includes using waterway=canal, and water=lake is also commonly (mis-) used for this purpose.

I filed an issue with , but so far noone reacted: https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles/issues/1802

In some places, tidal harbour basins exist, like in Portmouth in the Solent (south england), and there are a few example of what I call the Aberdeen style tagging - most notably in Antwerb, where dock areas are even doubled with canals, and a few places along the scottish eastcoast.
