A new Malaga – Tangier route will begin on 6 March. The daily service will be served by the FRIEDRICH RUSS.
Marítima Peregar is behind the route. This company has previously cooperated with Baleària on similar ventures.
The ship will connect Malaga to Tanger Med seven times per week. The start of the route is said to have suffered various bureaucratic setbacks and had been due to begin in January
The route is expected to specialize in agricultural products with a midnight departure from Tanger Med and a 1400 sailing from Malaga.
