Tangier Med Port Prepares for Peak Departures of Moroccans Abroad

Tangier Med Port is gearing up for the busiest phase of the "Marhaba 2026" operation, which facilitates the departure of Moroccans living abroad. The port has implemented practical measures, including the "closed ticket" system for the second consecutive year, to ensure smooth operations.

The return process for Moroccans to their homes abroad is proceeding well within Tangier Med Port, under the closed ticket system.

Jaafar Aamiyar, Central Director of Tangier Med Port, confirmed that the return journey for Moroccans is proceeding well under the closed ticket system. He anticipates a significant increase in departures before the end of August and urged all travelers to verify their tickets include specific travel dates and times.

“

We expect a large turnout before the end of this month.

Travelers with open or unconfirmed tickets are advised to contact their shipping companies to finalize their bookings. Aamiyar stressed that confirming ticket details is subject to available space on ferries, based on the fleet's capacity this year. He also recommended avoiding peak travel days, specifically between August 25th and 29th, as longer waiting times are expected during this period.

“

We urge all travelers via Tangier Med Port to ensure their ticket bears the date and time of travel.

The port authority has also advised passengers to change their ticket dates before arriving at the port. This can be done at the rest area managed by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity at the entrance of Tangier city on the highway, or at the "Ain Choka" station in the city of Ksar El Seghir. The authority reiterated that changes are dependent on available space with the shipping companies and the ferries' capacity.

Confirming the ticket date is subject to the availability of space on board the ferries, according to the capacity of the fleet approved this year.
