Calling Cabañas (CUCAB) a modern container port would overstate it: this is a small general-cargo harbour on Cuba's north coast, about twelve nautical miles west of Mariel. The natural bay, with roughly 6 metres alongside, suits smaller vessels and local break-bulk traffic, while large-scale container, dangerous-goods or customs handling is not confirmed. Ships calling here must first stop at Mariel for pilotage and quarantine clearance. Its relevance to international freight forwarding is therefore limited. For containers, bulk and dutiable cargo, the nearby deep-water port of Mariel and its ZED Mariel special economic zone is the port of record, with Havana as a further option.
