Nickel oxide and sinter bound for export, plus inbound fuel oil, gas oil and coal for the smelter, make up almost the entire cargo profile at Nicaro. This small industrial port sits inside Levisa Bay, an almost landlocked inlet on Cuba's northern coast, and exists chiefly to serve the regional nickel and cobalt refinery. It is not a container or general-cargo gateway, and scheduled liner services are not confirmed here. Draught and berth constraints cap calls at vessels of roughly 160 m length and 8.5 m draught. Road links run inland to the ore deposits in the foothills of the Sierra del Cristal, with no rail or barge connection of note. Shippers needing container, customs or project-cargo handling should look to Moa, Antilla, or the larger ports of Santiago de Cuba and Havana.
