**UN/LOCODE:** CU MEL

Zero berths and zero terminals: that is the practical reality of Media Luna, an open roadstead on the Gulf of Guacanayabo in Cuba's Granma province. The town is historically a sugar centre in the belt between Manzanillo and Cabo Cruz, but it offers no container, breakbulk or customs handling for commercial shipping. Cargo for eastern Cuba is realistically routed through Manzanillo or the deep-water port of Santiago de Cuba. Forwarders should treat Media Luna (CU MEL) as a coastal anchorage with no usable freight role.
