Comment (by lucadelu):

 GDAL doesn't support this format by default, reading a little bit more
 about the data it seems that is is only the line coast and they also
 provide shapefile for this dataset

 I think the shapefile is more useful than raster, if you really need
 raster you can rasterize the vector.
