Answer
What happens in Mallorca harbours when a storm brings big waves?
Harbours may need to secure moorings, check empty berths and protect sensitive equipment before conditions worsen. In rough seas, the main concern is not only damage to boats but also the lack of clear timing on when access areas should be closed or evacuated. Good communication between port staff and local authorities is crucial in Mallorca.
