About This Seaport
Registered under UN/LOCODE CUBAN, Banes is a small general-cargo jetty — the Embarcadero de Banes on Banes Bay in Holguín Province, north-eastern Cuba — used chiefly to ship the surrounding district's farm produce, historically sugar along with bananas and other fruit. It is an agricultural and breakbulk berth rather than a container terminal: sharp bends in the El Cañón approach channel and strong tidal currents limit callers to about 106 m length and 5.8 m draft. Until the 1950s the site and its sugar trade were dominated by the American United Fruit Company. Larger cargo and container volumes for the region move through Nipe Bay (Antilla) and through Santiago de Cuba and Havana. No reliable current throughput figures are published for Banes.
