As part of the launch of Operation Marhaba 2024 on June 5th, Tanger Med Passenger Port has mobilized all its resources to welcome Moroccans living abroad in the most efficient and comfortable conditions, under the supervision of the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity.
For this 2024 campaign, Tanger Med Port Authority has allocated a budget of 40 million MAD to improve port infrastructure and passenger services. Improvements included more shaded areas and dynamic display screens, more food and beverage locations, improved signage in the terminal, a new public address system, and services for people with special needs.
As for the shipping lines operating during the campaign, the Merchant Marine Division has expanded the fleet operating between Tanger Med and Algeciras to 12 vessels, with a capacity of over 40,000 passengers and 11,000 vehicles per day.
Night ferries provide services to Motril and Barcelona in Spain, Genoa in Italy, Sète and Marseille in France, with an additional weekly capacity of 12,000 passengers and 5,000 vehicles.
A range of communication tools are available to support passengers during this operation, including the passenger port website, mobile app, social media, and Tanger Med Radio on 100 FM.
Under the overall coordination of the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, all those involved in the Marhaba Operation, including the DGSN, the national police (Gendarmerie), Customs Office, auxiliary forces, the Ministry of Health, and local authorities, were fully mobilized to guarantee a smooth passage for Moroccans around the world.
