Algeciras Port Prepares for Surge in Moroccan Travelers as Marhaba 2022 Operation Begins

Algeciras fears an influx of travelers for the Marhaba Operation 2022 which starts on June 15, after two years of cancellation. The Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras (APBA) and the city authorities have put in place a system to manage this significant flow of passengers.
This system establishes that the so-called exit phase will take place from June 15 to August 15 and the return phase, from July 15 to September 15. During the steering committee meeting held last Wednesday, a 10% increase in the number of vehicles is expected. On the Moroccan side, the Marhaba Operation was launched on Sunday in the ports of Tanger-Med, Tanger-Ville, Al Hoceima and Nador, reports La Informacion.

In the Spanish ports, the Transit Operation officially starts on June 15, but the large influx is generally noted on June 30 and the first weekend of July. The Spanish ports have the necessary capacity to manage the flow of Moroccans Residing Abroad this year, it is assured. The peculiarity of this year is that vehicles wishing to board must obtain their reserved ticket before entering the Spanish ports where only the sale of tickets for passengers without vehicles will be allowed.
