Tides, these irregular movements of water that we know so well, are a natural phenomenon that has a key impact on navigation. Behind them are a whole series of forces, among which those of the sun and – above all – the moon stand out. Its position with respect to Earth (the moon is closer than the sun) has an impact on things like at what time high time and low tide occur, as well as their strength.

The port of Ceuta was one of the key participants in the renowned Seatrade Cruise Global 2019, the world's largest cruise fair, held in Miami in early April.

Maintaining a boat is key to prolonging its life and sailing safely and securely. It’s a constant process that requires time to check everything involved in sailing and possible damages caused both at sea and in port. In this context, checking the hull or frame of the boat is essential to ensure aspects such as waterproofing. Whether it’s made of wood, iron, concrete or fibreglass, its maintenance is vital to sail properly and avoid breakdowns or spills, among other problems.
This year, our bunkering agency in Ceuta has again attended the most important ship fuel supply meeting, held in London.
