Port of Mariel

Strategically positioned at coordinates 23° latitude, -82.75° longitude within Artemisa Province, the Port of Mariel (UN/LOCODE: CUMAR) serves as Cuba’s premier deep-water container terminal and logistics hub. Operating in the America/Havana timezone, this state-of-the-art facility accommodates post-Panamax vessels with drafts up to 18.2 meters, anchoring the Zona Especial de Desarrollo Mariel (ZEDM) to catalyze foreign investment and transshipment efficiency. Its integrated multimodal connectivity—linking berth operations directly to national rail and highway networks—optimizes supply chain velocity for the Caribbean basin. Managed by PSA International under a public-private partnership, the terminal leverages advanced automation and expansive yard capacity to handle diverse cargo flows, reinforcing its pivotal role in regional maritime trade architecture and national economic modernization.
