Morocco and the Canary Islands to relaunch the Tarfaya–Fuerteventura maritime line

Morocco and the Canary Islands are working closely to relaunch, in the coming months, the Fuerteventura – Tarfaya maritime line, the autonomous government announced on Friday on its official website.

The president of the archipelago, Fernando Clavijo, addressed this subject during a meeting with the Moroccan consul, Fatiha El Kamouri.

Clavijo emphasized his government’s determination to «do everything in its power so that the shipping line starts operating as quickly as possible», reports the same source. The route was halted in 2008. The question of Calvijo traveling to Morocco next year was also discussed during the same meeting.

For the record, the former government of the Canary Islands, led by Angel Victor Torres, announced in May that it had obtained the official commitment from Morocco to relaunch the maritime link between Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura) and Tarfaya. Torres, who currently heads the Ministry of Territorial Policy in the new government of Pedro Sanchez, visited Morocco at the head of a Canarian trade delegation on March 15 and 16.
