Cuba DispatchBackground
Jaira Provider is an offshore tug and supply ship identified by IMO number 7518977. Vessel records describe it as 67 metres long and built in 1978. The US Coast Guard's July 2026 port-state-control list recorded the vessel under the St Kitts and Nevis flag.
The IMO number is Jaira Provider's stable maritime identifier when registration or operating details change. Its vessel type reflects a working ship designed to support offshore activity as well as towing. The recorded length and build year distinguish it from other vessels with similar names. The July flag entry remains a dated registry snapshot rather than proof of its later registration.
