Strong wind gusts and heavy swells have suspended bunkering at anchorage in Ceuta today, port agent MH Bland says.

Ex-pipe bunkering is still possible with both suppliers in the port.

The weather is forecast to remain rough until tomorrow evening and could keep vessels from bunkering.

The winds and waves are moving westward. Gibraltar and Algeciras are often more sheltered from rough weather moving in this direction, and are still operational. There is slight congestion at Algeciras’ inner anchorage.
