Launched on 5 June, the Marhaba 2014 campaign is taking place under good conditions. This is what the officials of Tanger Med Port Authority (TMPA) have just announced, following the Eid El Fitr holidays. "All the facilities and services deployed by the Tanger-Med port to improve the comfort and conviviality of passengers during their transit have borne fruit," they affirm. Furthermore, the Tanger-Med passenger port has just experienced a record turnout of Moroccans residing abroad (MREs) returning to their host countries, during the weekend of 2 to 3 August. The latest statistics communicated indicate that 44,680 passengers and 12,547 vehicles entered the Kingdom via the Tanger-Med port. And since the launch of the Marhaba 2014 operation and until 3 August, the number of travellers who have returned to the Kingdom through the port complex has reached 407,383. This has led to an increase of 15% compared to the same period of the previous year. The Tanger-Med passenger port has seen, at the same time, the transit of a total of 113,553 vehicles bound for Morocco, an increase of 16% compared to the year 2013. Let us emphasise that for the success of the Marhaba campaign, the Tanger-Med port has seen significant improvements regarding the services offered to passengers. This essentially concerns the start-up of a new maritime station for pedestrians in the Tanger-Med Port Center, which benefits from the best quality standards, connected to the city of the strait thanks to a railway and road station. As for the ticketing area (inside the port), it has been rearranged for greater traveller comfort, notably with green spaces. The main roundabout for passenger car access at Tanger-Med has also been rearranged and widened for better visibility and traveller safety. At the boarding zone level, the passenger port has seen the creation of a relaxation area to improve the comfort of MREs during their transit. Operated by professionals to international standards, it includes, among other things, cafés, restaurants, an infirmary, and terraces with a view over the entire port. Sanitary facilities have been multiplied as well as public drinking water fountains. Measures have also been taken to inform travellers continuously, among which the commissioning of a Tanger-Med port radio station. It is tunable to the 97.6 MHz frequency to give travellers information at any time on the various departures and arrivals of boats.
