The Bay of Algeciras Port Authority is the state body responsible for the ports of the Bay of Algeciras and of Tarifa, and for all the coastal waters in their surroundings; it is one of Spain's 28 port authorities and the one that handles the greatest traffic in the country. Located in the Strait of Gibraltar, a point of contact between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the port of Algeciras concentrates the largest freight traffic in Spain and ranks first in container and vessel traffic across the whole Mediterranean, making it the economic driving force of the city and of the entire Campo de Gibraltar region.
