Algeciras port sees record crowds
The Port of Algeciras in Spain experienced an exceptional day during the Mohraba 2026 operation, due to the coincidence of peak transit toward Morocco with a temporary closure of the Beni Ansar border crossing in Melilla and worsening weather conditions caused by dense fog in the Strait of Gibraltar. This resulted in a flood of thousands of vehicles and an increase in the number of travelers, with approximately 12,500 vehicles entering the port throughout the day, including 6,000 vehicles before noon. The waiting process was well-organized, and the maritime lines were reinforced with fast ferries. The boarding of trucks was temporarily suspended to prioritize tourist cars, and maritime safety measures were activated due to the thick fog, leading to delays in navigation operations. Nonetheless, the crossing remained under control, with ferry schedules continuously adjusted according to weather conditions and the heavy pressure on the ports, all aimed at facilitating the return of Moroccans living abroad during the summer season.
