Celebrating Seabourn success! 🛳️🥳

Our wonderful Travel Agent Nena recently led a group on a stunning Seabourn cruise around the Mediterranean, with a special highlight: an exclusive trip to the Monte Carlo Masters to experience the tennis action up close! 🎾

After being wined, dined, and thoroughly entertained onboard, the group enjoyed a warm ‘welcome home’ get-together with Seabourn’s Business Development Manager, Dani Scannella, where they shared their favourite 'Seabourn Moments'. 🍷

It’s always a pleasure to welcome Dani to Gibraltar, and we’re especially excited for our upcoming ship visit on Monday where we’ll be exploring the luxurious Seabourn Encore up close and personal! Follow MH Bland Travel Services for updates. 📸

⚓️ Double Action in Algeciras ⚓️

The MH Bland Port Agency team recently supported two complex maritime operations from our Algeciras office:

🔧 One vessel arrived with both anchors out of service, one lost and one broken. In collaboration with Crosscomar, we coordinated a full replacement using a shore crane for the berth side and a service boat for the sea side. The entire operation was completed in just 8 hours. ⚙️⏱️

🛟 Another vessel experienced a rudder failure in the middle of the Strait of Gibraltar. Our team quickly arranged towage assistance from south of Ceuta to Algeciras Anchorage, ensuring the vessel was safely brought in for repair.

Quick thinking, teamwork, and precision, just another day supporting ships across the Strait. 💪
