# Manati (CU MNT)

**UN/LOCODE:** CU MNT

**Harbor Type:** River (Natural)  
**GPS:** 21.3667, -76.8167

On Cuba's northern coast in the province of Las Tunas, Manatí sits within the shallow Sabanalamar lagoon and works mainly as a bulk export point. Sugar and molasses from the surrounding cane belt make up its traditional cargo. Berths handle vessels up to roughly 165 m in length and about 9.6 m draught, so bulk carriers set the scale. Container or general-cargo handling is not confirmed, and the port is unsuitable for such consignments. Hinterland access runs by road toward Las Tunas city, with no verified rail link at the quay. Shippers moving boxes should route through Mariel, Cuba's principal container port near Havana, or Santiago de Cuba for the east.
