Spain upset at Gibraltar 'bunkering'

Spain upset at Gibraltar 'bunkering': "The Spanish press is reporting ‘alarm’ in La Linea, following the announcement from Gibraltar that they are authorizing ‘bunkering’ by tankers in the Levante zone next to the Rock.

Bunkering is when a tanker transfers the contents of its tanks to another vessel while at sea. It seems the safety measures announced by Gibraltar have not impressed Spain.

The Partido Andalucista are among those to express their concerns for a situation which they admit ‘is not new’. They say that Gibraltar First Minister, Peter Caruana, has always said that bunkering can take place in the waters he considers to be Gibraltarian."
