Maritime Links Resume in Gibraltar Strait as Storm Bernard Subsides

The unfavorable weather conditions had forced the companies Armas Trasmediterránea, Balearia and FRS to suspend their links, particularly those connecting Algeciras to Tangier and Ceuta. But, following the decrease in wind speed, which had exceeded 80 km/h, the crossings have been restored, to the great relief of many passengers, particularly Moroccans residing abroad.

Port sources confirmed to the EFE agency that the conditions have improved significantly, allowing high-speed ferries to resume service. The links between Algeciras and Tanger Med, vital for the transit of goods and passengers between Spain and Morocco, have also been restored.

The Strait of Gibraltar was one of the areas most affected by Storm Bernard. With winds blowing up to 100 km/h and causing large waves, activities in the region were significantly affected. The FRS company had to cancel its crossings from 2pm on Sunday, with its "HSC Levante Jet" vessel remaining at the dock for the journey originally scheduled for 3:30pm.
