Doctor of Science Juan Triana argued that the government should encourage, coordinate, or advise a class-action lawsuit by affected Cuban companies—both private and state-owned—against major shipping lines that broke their contracts while citing compliance with third-party regulations not included in the agreements. Another network member suggested that the government must actively accompany and defend clients impacted by these breaches, while academics Vivian Antuñez and Arnel Narciso warned that time is running out to claim damages for non-compliance.

The situation involves over 7,000 containers holding food, medicine, solar panels, and essential supplies stranded in various Caribbean, Colombian, and Mexican ports after companies like France's CMA CGM and Germany's Hapag-Lloyd halted shipments to Cuba following updated U.S. executive orders. Shipping regulations under International Maritime Organization conventions dictate container responsibilities, yet companies have refused to complete deliveries or refund payments already made by clients. Additionally, the State Movement of Solidarity with Cuba condemned the blockade of humanitarian aid containers—including medical supplies and disaster relief items—noting that affected organizations are currently considering legal action regarding the severe damages incurred.
