The disruptions are expected to continue Friday at Tarifa, whereas the Port of Algeciras will maintain all scheduled sailings, including those connecting to Tangier.
According to the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), light rain is expected in the Strait of Gibraltar region on Thursday until 6 p.m. No official weather warnings have been issued, though conditions are likely to worsen on Friday, with thunderstorms and strong westerly winds reaching up to 40 kilometers per hour.
