# Barcelona logs 41 ship departures as Spain's ports recover from 11 November strike

> Port-call data show departures from Algeciras, Valencia and Barcelona were above their pre-strike averages by 13 November, two days after a 24-hour general strike halted stevedoring. No vessel queues formed at anchorage, though median port stays at Algeciras and Barcelona were longer than baseline. Storm Charles also affected the Strait of Gibraltar on the strike day.

## Why it matters

Rapid recovery of Spanish port throughput limits any delay to European imports of feed ingredients, so the price effect is negligible.
