Havana (CUHAV)

The port is in a bay which is in three parts, in the NE Ensenada de Marimelena, to the SE Ensenada de Guasabacoa and in the SW Ensenada de Atares. The port has berthing facilities for all types of vessels with sugar being the principal export; molasses, citrus fruits, liqueurs and minerals are exported. Imports tend to be general cargo, machinery, fertilisers and fuel oil. Containers are also handled. There are 19 mooring buoys positioned throughout the harbour, four of them for Naval vessels.

Pilotage is compulsory for all foreign vessels and available throughout 24 hours. Pilot boards in the following position: a) 23°09.48'N 82°22.31'W (1nm from the harbour entrance). b) In case of bad weather, pilot boards within the harbour entrance.

Castilo del Morro Light, situated at 23°09.2'N 082°21.4'W.

Signal station: Vessels are to contact the signal station before entry. Movements: Particular care should be taken to give Terminal Sierra Maesta as wide a berth as possible as vessels at this terminal have been damaged by the wash caused by the entry of a vessel, particularly if that vessel is of unusual size or being navigated at excessive speed. The best time to move a vessel is early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the wind is usually light.

Mean maximum range 0.4m, mean minimum range 0.2m.

There is a VTMS in operation.

Tugs are available and compulsory for all tankers and all other vessels LOA 90m.

Prevailing winds: E'ly. With N winds and especially NW winds high seas form in the entrance to the bay and make navigation difficult, otherwise in good weather entrance to the port presents no problems. Berths near the harbour entrance may be affected by a heavy swell that sweeps in during NW winds.
