• Moroccans trapped by the blockade of Rabat to the 'operation Crossing the Strait' "Going to our country will cost us seven times more"

  • Diplomacy Morocco excludes the ports of Spain from the 'operation Paso del Estrecho'

The

Moroccan

government is

studying to expand the maritime lines this summer so that its emigrants can travel and include among them a new one that covers the route between the Portuguese port of

Portimao

(south) and the Moroccan

port

of

Tangier Med,

as announced in a statement by the

Navy. Merchant,

dependent on the Ministry of

Development.

This line would be added to those already approved to Tanger Med, from the ports of

Marseille (France)

and

Genoa (Italy), as

well as the line between

Sète (France)

and

Nador (northeast of Morocco),

but for the moment The inclusion of lines coming from Spanish ports is still not contemplated.

Last Sunday, June 6, the Moroccan government declared the

operation Paso del Estrecho

canceled

by excluding the Spanish ports of

Algeciras, Tarifa, Motril, Malaga, Almería

and

Ceuta

from the maritime rotations for this summer, which caused a deep malaise above all in the

Cádiz

region

,

where the largest number of travelers is concentrated every year.

And in order to reduce the costs of these trips by boat as much as possible, the government has imposed on shipping companies "reference prices" of

995 euros for a family

of four on a round trip, on the routes of long distance, and 450 euros in medium distance.

The goal is to transport 48,000 people and 15,000 vehicles per week by boat, reaching a total figure of 650,000 people and 180,000 vehicles, which is one fifth of those who travel in a normal year.
