Due to the population trade with Russia at the time, Spain was stirred into a frenzy of transportation fleets. Don't underestimate the few military shipyards Spain might offer; in reality, there are quite a number of civilian shipyards.
Moreover, Spain's geographical advantage as the western sea gate to the Mediterranean further augments its position. Currently, among the transportation fleets heading to North and South America along the Mediterranean coast, Spain controls approximately one-third.
This has led to those fleets under Spanish control frequently stopping at Spanish ports. They generally collaborate with local governments, aiming to attract some immigrants to stay in Spain and eventually become part of Spain's population.
Since the administrative district reform in Spain, the Cabinet Government and Parliament have become more stringent in assessing the performance of various levels of government.
