The closure of the royal dockyard in 1985 allowed for a major
redevelopment, and the port has benefited from massive investment.
The prime location and wealth of skills and facilities combine
to provide a comprehensive service to commercial shipping.
More than 80,000 vessels transit the Strait of Gibraltar every
year and the port of Gibraltar is an ideal stopover point for
vessels requiring bunkers, provisions, crew changes, repairs and
other
vital services.
Gibraltar is also a highly popular cruise destination. Twenty-five
cruise ship operators include Gibraltar in their itineraries and
the port is committed to ongoing investment in cruise facilities.
