Gibraltar has a deep sea port which can berth all but the largest of ships. Activity in the port has been brisk during recent years and Gibraltar remains an attractive and a convenient port of call at a strategic location both for merchant vessels, cruise liners and yachts.
There are numerous companies and ship chandlers who service visiting vessels which can supply bunkers, on which no tonnage dues are payable, fresh water, spares, general provisions, underwater cleaning and surveys all VAT free and, therefore, at very competitive rates. Gibraltar also has duty medical officers who can promptly treat the crew of vessels berthing in Gibraltar.
As far as yachts are concerned, there are now three large marinas offering excellent berthing facilities at competitive rates. These are supported by excellent out of water repair facilities.
