In a collaborative effort between Morocco and the Canary Islands, plans are underway to rejuvenate the maritime link between Fuerteventura and Tarfaya in the coming months, as revealed by the autonomous government in an official announcement on Friday.
Notably, the previous government of the Canary Islands, led by Angel Victor Torres, disclosed in May its successful attainment of an official commitment from Morocco to reinstate the maritime connection between Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura) and Tarfaya. Torres, now heading the Ministry of Territorial Policy in Pedro Sanchez's new government, led a Canarian trade delegation to Morocco on March 15 and 16.
Furthermore, the meeting spotlighted the expertise of the Canary Islands consortium in port and logistics management, seeking approval from Moroccan authorities to operate in the recently refurbished port of Tarfaya. The objective is to resurrect the route that was operational between 2007 and 2008. The Port of Tarfaya's enhanced infrastructure, boasting a 225-meter quay, a 10,000 square meter commercial area, and an 84,000 square meter industrial zone, along with an adapted ramp and dredging works, now aligns with the technical prerequisites for reinstating the maritime connection with Puerto del Rosario.
