Morocco will reinforce its maritime transport services with 520 weekly crossings between the country and Southern Europe as part of the “Marhaba 2025” summer transit operation, a government spokesperson said on Thursday.
The enhanced maritime offering aims to accommodate increased passenger traffic during the summer period, Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament and Government Spokesperson, Mustapha Baitas, pointed out at a press briefing following the weekly Cabinet meeting.
Under the High Patronage of HM King Mohammed VI, the operation will support the transit of up to 500,000 passengers and 130,000 vehicles each week, Baitas said.
A total of 29 vessels operated by seven shipping companies will provide 12 maritime routes connecting Moroccan ports with those in Spain, France and Italy, he added.
The government has also stepped up support measures, including reinforced border control systems, 24 reception centers—18 in Morocco and six abroad—and the deployment of medical teams along key roads and rest stops.
Consular services will operate on weekends and public holidays between June 15 and September 15 to assist with the operation, Baitas said.
