**Status:** Ruling · remanded · **Date:** 21 May 2026 · **Country:** [Cuba & Title III](https://www.sovereigncreditorreview.com/cuba-title-iii/) · **Topic:** [Litigation & enforcement](https://www.sovereigncreditorreview.com/litigation-enforcement/)

In Havana Docks Corp. v. Royal Caribbean Cruises (No. 24-983, decided 21 May 2026), the Supreme Court held that the “property which was confiscated” includes the physical docks themselves, so the cruise lines’ use of the docks can support a trafficking claim even though the concession would have expired in 2004\. The Eleventh Circuit judgment was vacated and remanded.
