It will move away after that date and you will no longer be able to resupply in Vigo

Just a minor detail: with the exception of MV Schliemann, that left the Canaries on 24 Feb 42, serving as replenishment in South Atlantic and then in the Indian Ocean until her sinking in '44, most of the German tankers interned in Spanish ports reached their respective destinations before the beginning of WWII, and remained there until the end of the conflict, though after late '41 - early '42 they were no longer used as replenishment ships.
Getting back to your example, MV Bessel should be located in Vigo from the first day of the first campaign, though it should be used as replenishment only from 01/06/40. Similarly, after 31/03/41 it should be replaced with an identical unit, but deprived of its refitting prerogatives.
