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.
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.
The AIS feed is not reporting (no key), so expected arrivals, port calls and departures cannot be listed yet.
Expected arrivals0
No vessel is currently declaring a Cuban destination within receiver range.
In port now0
No vessel is currently stopped in a Cuban port within receiver range.
Arrived, last 24 h0
No port arrival logged in the last 24 hours.
Departed, last 24 h0
No port departure logged in the last 24 hours.
Expected arrivals come from the destination and ETA each vessel declares over AIS, which the crew types by hand. Terrestrial receivers cover the approaches to Havana, Mariel and the Florida Straits; the south coast is thin, so a ship not listed may simply be out of range.
Cuban ports, last 24 hours

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.
