The port suspended all operations on Tuesday last week due to adverse weather conditions.

Severe congestion has been reported in the port, where 19 vessels are waiting for bunkers today, a source said. Calmer weather is forecast in the Gibraltar Strait for the rest of this week, which could allow bunker suppliers to clear backlogs.
