Switching Spain to axis side would make all of its ports available for refitting. I think it would be better assigning only the desired ports to Germany during the appropriate dates

...but, if technically possible, I have a better idea...

If your anchored ship is out at sea - I could add a hidden port under it with date ranges to match the ship when at anchor.
This would act just like sailing into a port - when within the raduis - option to refuel. (refit/dock = would be grayed out)

it would be cool making the mentioned replenishment tankers to spawn at ports and at 0 knots (as if they were docked ships), when we call for a refitting. This way, we would be forced to enter in ports and to get in their range for refitting from them. The other way (as suggested by you), it would be enough to be off the harbor, within a given range, for refuelling.

The result would be the same, indeed, but having to actually get in the Spanish harbor and to make contact with a docked German tanker, would add to the immersion, making us to feel like in Das Boot
