New storms cripple ferries: How prepared is Mallorca for supply and mobility outages?

Answer

Why are ferries to and from Mallorca being cancelled during storms?

Ferry services are usually suspended when winds and sea conditions make sailing unsafe. In Mallorca, strong gusts and high waves can quickly affect routes such as Palma, Alcúdia, Ibiza and Dénia. The decision is normally made for safety, but it can still disrupt travel, deliveries and daily routines on the island.
