The Port of Melilla is a cargo, fishing, and passenger port and marina located in Melilla, a Spanish autonomous city off the coast of North Africa.
History[]
A port existed in Phoenician and Punic Russadir that continued its activity under Roman rule after the fall of Carthage.[2] During the Middle Ages the port presumably played a part in the interchange of gold, ivory, slaves and cereals imported by the Caliphate of Córdoba in exchange for perfume, leather, silk and fabric.[3]
During the time of the Spanish protectorate in Morocco, the iron ore mined from the hinterland was loaded in the port of Melilla by the (CEMR).[4]
Description[]
It is managed by the port authority of the same name.[5] It competes against the neighbouring port of Beni Ansar (Nador).[6] By 2008 the port moved around 830,000 tonnes of cargo and 511,000 passengers.[7]
The port has a ferry connection to Málaga, Motril and Almería.[8]
