During an exchange with the Minister of Transport and Logistics, Abdessamad Kayouh, she stated that Morocco’s major logistics projects have not yet been reflected in the quality of maritime services offered to travelers.

The parliamentarian particularly points to ticket costs, which are especially sensitive during the Marhaba operation. According to her, high crossing fares, combined with recurring complaints about service quality, require government intervention.

Tickets Too Expensive

Houria Didi demands concrete solutions to ease the burden on travelers and improve their travel conditions. She also emphasizes the need to raise safety standards, quality, and economic profitability in the sector.

The deputy advocates for an integrated national maritime transport strategy. This should guarantee line continuity, support the sector, accelerate digitalization, and modernize services.
