For me there is an issue with the referencing of the image. I generated
a 1x1 degree graticule in QGIS using the graticule plugin, set value of
1 in your dataset to be transparent and underlaid the vmap country
boundaries. The BSB dataset aligns with neither the vmap or the
graticule. See screenshot link below. Have you been able to verify that
it is properly aligned when opening in other GIS software?
