Why OPL calls may be important at Gibraltar

This message aims to inform the reader on usability of OPL calls at Gibraltar. As you may be aware, the OPL stands for Off Port Limit call. It becomes particularly usefull if you want to supply your vessel with the requisites on-the-fly. Basically a vesel is supplied at roads with a launch. It may become a necessity in case your vessel is bound for Algeria! As became known from my shipagent at Oran, it is a big problem to send spare parts due to some very complicated formalities at customs causing huge delays even with forwarders agents (DHL is included). Please take that into consideration next time you go to Algeria and consider OPL service provided by e.g.  GIBUNCO ship agency.
