The US and Spanish navies jointly operate Base Naval de Rota, which occupies most of the port on the northern shore of the Bay of Cádiz and defines its character. Despite claims to the contrary, Rota offers no public container handling: its piers support military logistics, alongside a fishing harbour and recreational berths. No commercial customs or freight-forwarding operation is confirmed here. For cargo in the Cádiz region, shippers use the nearby commercial ports of Cádiz and Sevilla, or the major container hub of Algeciras.
