When the mainland gets stuck: How secure is Mallorca's supply?

Answer

How important are Mallorca's ferries if the mainland road network is blocked?

Ferries are a key link in Mallorca’s supply chain because much of the island’s freight reaches port by truck before crossing by sea. When mainland roads are blocked, ferry schedules, night runs and port handling become even more important. If the connection stays strained for long, the island has less flexibility to absorb delays.
