Live tracker / Ships
Live ships to and from Cuba
Vessels received around the island by AIS. Ships that declare a Cuban destination, sit in a Cuban port or have just left one are drawn larger in teal; pale grey vessels are passing through Cuban waters. Click any ship for its type, flag, declared destination and trail.
The vessel feed is not reporting yet (no key). The map and port table fill in as soon as the AIS service is running.

Port board: expected arrivals, in port, departures
Vessels declaring a Cuban port as their destination with the ETA they broadcast, vessels stopped in port now, and the arrivals and departures logged over the last 24 hours. Times are Cuba local.

How this works
- Positions and static data (name, type, declared destination, ETA) come from aisstream.io, a free stream of terrestrial AIS receptions. The tracker holds one subscription for the Cuba bounding box.
- The destination field is free text typed by the crew. The tracker reads it against Cuban port names and UN/LOCODEs (HAVANA, CUHAV, MARIEL and so on); a stopped vessel within 20 km of a port is counted as in port even if it declared nothing.
- Terrestrial AIS reaches 40 to 60 nautical miles from a receiver. The approaches to Havana and Mariel and the Florida Straits are reasonably covered; the south coast is thin. A ship not shown may simply be out of range.
- For clearance rules and port formalities see maritime and port formalities; for the ports themselves see the Cuban ports directory.
