It serves as an important maritime route for ships traveling between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The passage is strategic for international shipping, as it connects major ports in the region. Its name reflects its location in the Windward Islands area. The passage is relatively shallow but vital for maritime navigation, making it a key part of Caribbean trade and transportation networks.
