Being present at important maritime hubs is essential to provide holistic and extensive service experiences for our clients. Not many ports in the world can boast the geographical strategic location of Gibraltar, a place often referred to as the key to the Mediterranean. Historically, Gibraltar has been a heavily fortified British air and naval base guarding the Straits of Gibraltar, which is the only entrance to the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Gibraltar side of the Bay provides 14 safe and sheltered anchorage positions from the predominant easterly winds of the area. A large variety of services are offered to the approximately 80,000 vessels transiting these busy Straits annually. Of the services provided, bunker replenishment is the most common and has resulted in Gibraltar becoming the largest bunkering port in the Mediterranean.

The East side of Gibraltar provides additional anchorage slots allowing vessels to undertake alternative non-refuelling operations e.g. repairs, crew changes, taking on stores etc. Apart from the services offered at the two anchorage areas, Off-Port Limits services are offered to vessels that are transiting but do not wish to deviate or leave international waters. These services include, though aren’t limit to, delivery of stores, spares, provisions, or crew changes. OPL operations are performed at following two rendezvous points:

Built on the pillars of LETH’s high quality with Inchcape’s wide-ranging service portfolio and physical presence in the Strait of Gibraltar since 1922, we are ready to assist and can ensure exceptional service in Gibraltar.
