CUHAV Port (Bahai De La Habana) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

Set on a sheltered natural bay on Cuba's northwest coast, the Port of Havana was for centuries the island's principal harbour and a muster point for Spain's treasure fleets. Its function has since shifted: deep-sea container traffic largely moved in 2014 to the Mariel terminal (TC Mariel) some 45 km to the west, which handles the main line vessels and reefer boxes and has worked over two million TEU since opening. After channel dredging, Mariel can now take Neo-Panamax ships up to about 366 m in length and 15 m draft. Havana itself focuses on general cargo, coastal shipping, bulk and a growing cruise business. For freight forwarders, containerised imports to Cuba typically route through Mariel, while Havana serves regional and project-cargo needs. Road links feed the capital's metropolitan hinterland, and Mariel is also rail-connected to Havana. Shippers planning FCL or refrigerated loads should treat Mariel as the primary gateway, with Moa to the northeast serving industrial bulk exports such as nickel.
