Gibraltar bunker calls steady in February

The Port of Gibraltar recorded 357 bunker calls in February, just two calls less than in January, according to Gibraltar Port Authority (GPA) data.

The February total was eight higher than in the same month last year. In the first two months of 2026, 716 vessels called at Gibraltar for bunkers, 22 fewer than the 738 recorded in the corresponding period of 2025.

Only 13 cruise ships called at the port in January and February, the data showed. But that was still five more vessels compared to the same period in 2025.

Bunker calls in Gibraltar typically rise during the summer as demand from cruise ships and other vessel types picks up.

Overall, 5,267 ships called at Gibraltar for bunkers in 2025, up by about 4% from 2024. Cruise ship calls to the port rose by about 20% over the same period.
