Answer

How do small-boat arrivals affect daily life in Mallorca ports at night?

Night arrivals can be felt immediately in ports through queues, temporary shelters and the work of volunteers and rescue staff. In Mallorca, that can mean lights on the quay, people waiting for processing and extra pressure on local services that are already limited at night. It also affects nearby residents and businesses, who often notice the disruption before they hear any official update.
