Gibraltar sits at the western mouth of the Mediterranean and is the natural bunker stop for vessels entering or leaving the basin. Together with Algeciras (opposite side of the Bay), it forms one of the most significant bunker markets in Europe, with combined annual volumes well over 7 million tonnes.

Bay of Gibraltar — Eastern and Western anchorages
Gibraltar and Algeciras share the same body of water but operate under separate jurisdictions. Vessels typically choose one or the other based on pricing, supplier preference, and operational convenience. The two ports compete on price and service rather than on fundamentally different product.
For any vessel transiting Gibraltar Strait, a bunker stop is a routine option because the detour is minimal. This makes the port one of the densest-traffic bunker locations in the world, with deep supplier competition.
All standard grades. LSMGO demand is elevated because Mediterranean SOx ECA rules (when applicable) and EU regulatory compliance make low-sulphur fuel a routine request. HSFO serves scrubber vessels.
Winter levanter easterlies can disrupt Eastern anchorage operations; Western anchorage is typically usable in most conditions. Visibility during levante events can be poor.
