The French shipping company "CMA CGM" launched a new short-sea maritime line connecting the Moroccan port of Tangier Med with the Spanish port of Valencia and the Tunisian port of Sfax, as part of strengthening trade links within the western Mediterranean.
According to the Spanish website "El Mercantil," the new line will launch starting October 29th, coinciding with the start of the export season between Tunisia and Morocco. The line will rely on two ships with a capacity of 800 containers each, with expectations of a one-day transit time between Tangier Med and Valencia, and four days between Sfax and Morocco. The same source explained that the voyages will be weekly, with a complete cycle of 14 days, including stopovers at ports. The French company confirmed that the line falls within the "Short Sea Shipping" services, which allow Morocco to connect to global trade networks via the Valencia and Tangier Med hubs.
