A new RoPax service is planned between Agadir (Morocco) and Cádiz (Spain), launching at the end of February 2026, writes Maritime News (in French).
The line will run three round-trips per week, with a crossing time of around 24 hours.
The vessel is expected to carry up to 120 trucks and 240 passengers.
The link aims to unclog the port of Tangier Med, offer a closer gateway for regional exporters, and reduce logistics costs while improving export competitiveness from southern Morocco.
The ship operator has committed to recruiting and training Moroccan seafarers, contributing to job creation and skills development locally.
The new route is part of broader efforts to diversify Morocco’s maritime corridors and strengthen the position of the Souss‐Massa region as an emerging Euro‐Mediterranean trade hub. There was already an attempt to launch a freight service earlier this year.
