🇭🇹 Haiti
Caribbean Sea · General Cargo Port
Haiti is under UN Security Council and EU sanctions tied to the gang-driven governance collapse.
Port-au-Prince in Haiti 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.
No port-call data observed at Port-au-Prince in the last 180 days. ArcNautical's AIS coverage focuses on the world's commercial shipping lanes; smaller or specialised ports may not register sufficient traffic for a meaningful breakdown.
Haiti is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Port-au-Prince is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
