The Spanish maritime company Balearia announced on Thursday the strengthening of its connections between Spain and Morocco, on the occasion of Operation Marhaba 2025, with around thirty daily crossings scheduled between June 15 and September 15.
Traffic will be particularly reinforced on Tarifa-Tanger City lines, Algeciras-Tanger Med, Almeria-Nador and Motril-Tangier Med, the company said in a statement.
In this context, Balearia will operate for the first time on the Tarifa-Tanger Ville link, with up to 12 departures per day provided by two high-speed ships, thus marking a significant extension of its network towards Morocco, said the same source.
Services will also be increased with up to 9 daily departures between Algeciras and Tangier Med, 2 to 3 rotations per day between Almeria and Nador, while a seasonal interconnection will be provided between Motril and Tangier Med, depending on demand.
“This programming, the largest within the framework of operation Marhaba, translates our commitment to an effective mobility and adapted to the passengers who cross the Strait every summer to find their relatives,” said Balearia Director of Balearia, Georges Bassoul, quoted in the press release.
“Northern Africa represents our main international market, and our ambition is to offer a service that is both reliable, competitive and in accordance with passenger expectations,” he said.
For this campaign, Balearia mobilized a fleet of 10 recently renovated ships, and reinforced its workforce with more than 300 agents divided between its bases in southern Spain and northern Morocco.
