🇧🇸 Bahamas
Caribbean Sea · Container Terminal
In the last 180 days, ArcNautical recorded 48 vessel arrivals at Freeport, with Cargo accounting for 29% of port calls — higher than the Caribbean Sea regional average of 17%. Freeport in Bahamas operates within a strategic crossroads connecting North and South American trade with the Panama Canal, Gulf of Mexico energy complex, and transatlantic routes. Hurricane season (June 1 – November 30) is the dominant natural hazard; category 4 and 5 systems generate winds above 130 knots and storm surges that devastate port infrastructure. Track forecasting has improved, but rapid intensification remains difficult to predict beyond 48–72 hours. Venezuela sanctions represent a significant compliance challenge for any vessel operating in the basin — the US has maintained comprehensive sanctions against Venezuela's oil sector since 2019, and the framework is modified frequently through general and specific licenses. Vessels with prior Venezuelan port calls face enhanced OFAC scrutiny.
Across 48 distinct vessel arrivals, 48 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories at Freeport:
Freeport falls under the Caribbean MoU. The Caribbean Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a public bulk detention feed. Member states inspect under a harmonised regime aligned with the Tokyo and Paris MoU targeting factors. Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag-state performance and on-board condition signals.
