🇪🇸 Spain
Mediterranean Sea · Container Terminal
Algeciras in Spain operates in a semi-enclosed basin that carries approximately 20% of global seaborne trade. The Suez Canal is the single most critical chokepoint for Mediterranean-bound shipping, and disruptions there — from groundings, Houthi-driven diversions, or political shocks — force vessels onto the Cape of Good Hope routing, adding 10–14 days and substantial fuel cost. Libya's ongoing instability creates an active maritime security concern in the central Mediterranean, with oil terminals periodically subject to militia control. PSC under the Paris MOU is among the most rigorous globally; vessels with deficiencies face detention rates well above the global average at Mediterranean ports.
Limited port-call data — fewer than 10 distinct vessels observed at Algeciras in the last 180 days. ArcNautical does not publish a vessel-type breakdown for low-traffic ports to avoid statistically misleading percentages.
Algeciras falls under the Paris MoU. The Paris Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a bulk per-vessel detention CSV. ArcNautical evaluates per-vessel detention probability using flag-state performance (3-year rolling rate from the 2024 Paris MoU annual report), vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership transparency. Paris MoU PSC inspections remain among the most rigorous globally.
