Suppliers may stop offering bunker grades for prompt delivery dates in Gibraltar due to inclement weather conditions, the trader adds.

The Gibraltar port authority has issued a severe gale warning, with wind gusts between 55-60 knots forecast today. A separate thunderstorm warning is also in place in the area in the wake of Storm Karlotta.

Rough weather is also forecast over the weekend, with wind gusts between 23-35 knots to hit the area.
