Mixed nickel-cobalt sulphide outbound, sulphur and process inputs inbound — the cargo book at Cayo Moa Grande (CUMOA) is essentially that of a single mining complex on Cuba's north-eastern Holguín coast. The port exists to serve the adjacent Pedro Sotto Alba plant, run by Moa Nickel S.A., a joint venture between Canada's Sherritt International and the Cuban state, whose concentrate is shipped to a refinery in Fort Saskatchewan, Canada. This is a breakwater-protected bulk and ore terminal rather than a container port, offering roughly 11 metres at the approach and cargo pier and about 14 metres at anchorage. No container lines or general-cargo services call here; handling is geared to the works' own mineral traffic, which continued through 2025. Its hinterland is effectively the Moa mining and processing zone, served by industrial roads and rail. Boxed or breakbulk freight for eastern Cuba moves through Nuevitas or Santiago de Cuba, while container volumes consolidate at the Mariel hub near Havana.
