Gibraltar is currently facing gale-force wind gusts between 35-38 knots, the Gibraltar Port Authority says.

The Port Authority has put out a strong wind warning, which is valid until tomorrow and may be extended. Suppliers in the area may refrain from bunkering activities until the weather conditions improve.

Currently, six vessels are waiting for bunkers in Gibraltar, says MH Bland.
