Port Information - Berthing Information
Flexible and convenient berths

Gibraltar only has a one metre tidal range and no locks to worry about, so that cruise ships can berth alongside the Cruise Terminal at any time of day or night within an hour of leaving the main shipping lanes of the Straits of Gibraltar.

Cruise ships and other vessels calling for bunkers or water can be accommodated on both sides of the Western Arm. The outer side is 490 metres long with a maximum draught of 9.6 metres. The inner side is 450 metres long with a maximum draught of 8.3 metres.

Deeper draught vessels can be berthed according to tide. Vessels calling for lay-up or repairs can berth at the Detached Mole, which is 605 metres long with a maximum draught of 9.1 metres. Two 100 metre berths are available for vessels discharging general cargo.
