State Press Release: Additional Sanctions Designations Targeting the Corrupt Cuban Communist Regime and Its Financial Backers

OFAC Program: [CUBA-EO14404] Executive Order 14404

CEIBA INVESTMENTS LIMITED

• Les Echelons Court, Les Echelons, St. Peter Port, Channel Islands GY1 1AR, Guernsey
• Organization Established Date: 10 Oct 1995
• Organization Type: Trusts, funds and similar financial entities
• Legal Entity Number: 213800XGY151JV5B1E88
• Registration Number: 30083 (Guernsey)

Supplemental Information: Secretary Rubio’s press statement describes today’s Cuba-related action as including four entities associated with sanctions evasion efforts linked to U.S.-designated Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (GAESA), Cuba’s military-run business conglomerate, without naming each individually. Note that OFAC is separately issuing Cuba General Licenses 2 and 3, both captioned as authorizing wind-down and debt/equity transactions involving CEIBA Investments Limited specifically — a strong indication this entity is among the four, though this is an inference on our part rather than a statement made explicitly in either press release.

CENTRO DE INVESTIGACIONES DEL PETROLEO S.A.

• AKA: “CEINPET”
• Cerro, Cuba
• Organization Established Date: 02 Jun 2020
• Target Type: State-Owned Enterprise
• Entity Code: 14774 (Cuba)

Supplemental Information: CEINPET’s petroleum-research profile places it, in our reading, among the three entities Secretary Rubio’s statement describes as operating in Cuba’s energy sector, though the statement does not name the three individually.

COMERCIALIZADORA DE SERVICIOS MEDICOS CUBANOS SA

• AKA:
  • “CSMC”
  • “CUBAN MEDICAL SERVICES MARKETING COMPANY”
  • “SERVICIOS MEDICOS CUBANOS”
  • “SMC”
• Havana, Cuba
• Organization Established Date: 11 Oct 2011
• Tax ID No.: 3000186940 (Cuba)

Supplemental Information: As the entity that markets Cuba’s overseas medical-brigade labor, CSMC appears to be one of the two entities Secretary Rubio’s statement describes as responsible, together with two individuals, for the exploitation and forced labor of Cuban medical workers through the regime’s overseas medical brigades.

CORAL MARITIMA S.A.

• Havana, Cuba
• Organization Established Date: 2019
• Organization Type: Sea and coastal freight water transport
• Entity Code: 60301 (Cuba)
• Linked to: GRUPO EMPRESARIAL DE TRANSPORTE MARITIMO PORTUARIO

Supplemental Information: Coral Maritima’s link to a state maritime and port transport holding group is, in our reading, consistent with the GAESA-linked sanctions-evasion category in Secretary Rubio’s statement, though the statement does not name the four entities in that category individually.

EINARBO S.A.

• Havana, Cuba
• Organization Established Date: 19 Feb 2020
• Organization Type: Wholesale of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels and related products
• Entity Code: 60636 (Cuba)

Supplemental Information: Einarbo’s fuel-wholesaling profile places it, in our reading, among the three energy-sector entities referenced in Secretary Rubio’s statement.

EMPRESA DE ENERGIA S.A.

• AKA: “ENERSA”
• Havana, Cuba
• Organization Established Date: 01 Jan 2012
• Organization Type: Wholesale of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels and related products
• Entity Code: 60600 (Cuba)

Supplemental Information: ENERSA’s fuel-wholesaling profile likewise places it, in our reading, among the three energy-sector entities referenced in Secretary Rubio’s statement.

ORBIT S.A.

• Havana, Cuba
• Organization Established Date: 02 Mar 2020
• Organization Type: Financial and Insurance Activities
• Entity Code: 60642 (Cuba)

Supplemental Information: Orbit’s financial-services profile is, in our reading, consistent with the GAESA-linked sanctions-evasion category in Secretary Rubio’s statement, though this is an inference rather than a statement made explicitly in either press release.

TERMINAL DE CONTENEDORES DE MARIEL S.A.

• AKA:
  • MARIEL CONTAINER TERMINAL S.A.
  • TCM S.A.
• Vista del Mar, Cuba
• Organization Established Date: 01 Jun 2011
• Organization Type: Cargo handling
• Entity Code: 60597 (Cuba)
• Linked to: GRUPO DE ADMINISTRACION EMPRESARIAL S.A.

Supplemental Information: This container terminal operator is directly linked in the listing itself to Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. — GAESA’s full name — making it, in our reading, one of the four GAESA-linked entities referenced in Secretary Rubio’s statement.

UNIDAD CENTRAL DE COOPERACION MEDICA

• AKA:
  • “CENTRAL UNIT FOR MEDICAL COOPERATION”
  • “UCCM”
• Marianao, Cuba
• Organization Established Date: 30 Sep 1984
• Entity Code: 9809 (Cuba)

Supplemental Information: UCCM, to which fellow designee Gretza Sanchez Padron is linked, administers Cuba’s overseas medical-brigade program and appears to be the second of the two entities Secretary Rubio’s statement describes as responsible, together with two individuals, for the exploitation and forced labor of Cuban medical workers through those brigades.

Delistings:

The following deletions have been made to OFAC’s SDN List:

Sources:

• [CUBA-EO14404] does not yet appear on OFAC’s Program Tag Definitions page as of July 2026; the description above uses the underlying executive order citation, consistent with how OFAC has documented other newly issued single-EO tags there.
• José Ángel Portal Miranda’s identification as Cuba’s Minister of Public Health: CiberCuba
• The mapping of individual Cuba-related entities to the three sub-categories described in Secretary Rubio’s press statement (GAESA-linked sanctions evasion, energy sector, medical-brigade labor exploitation) is our own inference from the entities’ stated business activities and linkages, cross-referenced against the category counts in the statement — it is not stated explicitly, entity-by-entity, in either underlying press release.
