Answer

Is it safe to transport waste by ferry to Mallorca?

The plan depends on clear transport rules, certified containers, and defined procedures in the ports. Liability in case of accidents at sea or during unloading also needs to be settled before any large-scale transport can begin. Without those safeguards, the route remains politically and operationally risky.
