Ceuta crisis tightens Schengen, a test for Genoa's ferry links

Italy said Friday it had suspended its Schengen agreement with Spain, following the influx of migrants into Madrid's Ceuta enclave in North Africa, bordering Morocco, according to The Local Italy.

The Guardian reported the measure will impact people travelling by plane or boat between the two countries, as the EU grapples with one of its largest migrant crises in recent years.

For Genoa, the suspension carries direct weight: the city's port is a major terminal for ferry and cruise traffic along the Western Mediterranean, with regular sailings connecting the Ligurian coast to Spanish ports.
