Storm in the port of Melilla March 2017

The port of Melilla following the disastrous weather conditions between Spain and Morocco closed its doors on Wednesday 15 March.

Indeed after a very difficult arrival of a ferry (the Fortuny) of the company transmediterranea which makes the crossing between Almeria and Melilla, the managers of the port decided to close. The traffic is therefore interrupted today.
 
The ship and its poor passengers suffered troughs of more than 5 meters and winds near 110 km / h on arrival at the port.

The images are impressive and very scary ... Images of youtube channels FaroTVMelilla.

The closure of a Spanish port in Africa during the winter due to storms is common (that of Ceuta was closed for 2 days in February 2017 remember).
