Maritime traffic resumes between Algeciras and Tanger Med
Maritime connections between the ports of Algeciras in southern Spain and Tanger Med in northern Morocco have resumed after a temporary suspension caused by adverse weather conditions in the Strait of Gibraltar.
Port authorities confirmed that ferry services were progressively restored early Sunday morning following a noticeable improvement in sea and wind conditions. The decision came after safety assessments indicated that navigation could resume without risk to passengers or vessels.
The disruption was linked to the passage of a powerful storm that affected the region over the weekend. Strong winds and rough seas forced maritime authorities to halt crossings as a precautionary measure, in line with international maritime safety standards.
Meanwhile, ferry operators serving the Tarifa–Tangier City route are monitoring weather developments closely. A potential resumption of services on this line is expected later in the day, provided that stable navigation conditions are maintained.
The reopening of these strategic maritime routes is essential for passenger mobility and commercial exchanges between Europe and North Africa, particularly during periods of high cross-border activity.
