Bad weather has halted operations, including bunkering, at the Mediterranean port of Gibraltar, market sources said Monday.
A weather warning issued by the Gibraltar Met office earlier Monday reported strong winds, southwesterly force 5 or 6.
However, bunker sources in the port say the bad weather is showing signs of easing at midday local time and that major delays to port operations are not expected, with one ship currently waiting to enter the port.
The key bunker grade of 380 CST fuel oil at Algerciras/Gibraltar was assessed by S&P Global Platts on Friday at $273.50/mt.
