Morocco to Boost Maritime Transport Capacity for Summer Rush with 520 Weekly Crossings
Morocco will reinforce its maritime transport services with 520 weekly crossings between the country and Southern Europe as part of the 'Marhaba 2025' summer transit operation, a government spokesperson said on Thursday. The enhanced maritime offering aims to accommodate increased passenger traffic during the summer period, Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament and Government Spokesperson, Mustapha Baitas, pointed out at a press briefing following the weekly Cabinet meeting. Under the High Patronage of HM King Mohammed VI, the operation will support the transit of up to 500,000 passengers and 130,000 vehicles each week, Baitas said. A total of 29 vessels operated by seven shipping companies will provide 12 maritime routes connecting Moroccan ports with those in Spain, France and Italy, he added. The government has also stepped up support measures, including reinforced border control systems, 24 reception centers—18 in Morocco and six abroad—and the deployment of medical teams along key roads and rest stops. Consular services will operate on weekends and public holidays between June 15 and September 15 to assist with the operation, Baitas said. (MAP: 05 June 2025)

Morocco to Adopt Automatic Recognition of UK Degrees
Rabat – Morocco announced a new major milestone for Moroccan and international students with British university degrees. The measure includes the automatic recognition of UK degrees for Moroccan students studying in the UK. A statement from the British Council announced the news, noting that the measure is part of the UK-Morocco strategic dialogue launched during the visit of British Foreign Secretary David Lammy on June 1-2. During this visit, Morocco witnessed a milestone in its ongoing momentum of support for its territorial integrity and sovereignty over its southern provinces, as the UK joined the growing chorus backing the Autonomy Plan as the most serious and credible political framework to end the Western Sahara dispute. In addition to the automatic recognition of UK degrees in Morocco, two other major developments marked the visit, the statement reads. 'A special stakeholder breakfast was held in Rabat during he visit, bringing together key players- business leaders, educators, English teachers, and policy makers,' the statement said, highlighting the growing role of English in Morocco. The meeting also proved as an opportunity for Lammy to assess the impact of educational cooperation between the two countries. In addition to joint partnerships in the realm of education, the UK and Morocco also signed a Memorandum of Understanding on higher education. 'Building on the 2019 Higher Education Commission, it includes the cooperation of a joint steering committee to promote collaborative research, transnational education, and the use of English as a language of instruction,' the statement said. Room for growth in Morocco's English education Despite the growing appeal of the English language among many in Morocco, the country continues to lag in English proficiency. The English Proficiency Index last year shows that Morocco remains 76th out of 116 countries listed, with a score of 479. The score is marginally above the global average of 477. The data shows that the North African country remains at a low proficiency level in Africa, ranking ninth among 24 other countries listed in the ranking. This means that Morocco's ranking is classified as low, with minimal progress despite pledges to enhance English education. Morocco's cities like Rabat stand out as the top-performing city in Morocco, with a score of 510, far ahead of El Jadida and Casablanca. Last year, the Ministry of Education stressed the importance of expanding the English language in Morocco's education, promising that English expansion teaching will cover 50% of preparatory education and 100% of the second year of education. With reports confirming that French dominates the education ecosystem in Morocco, the British Council issued a report in 2022, acknowledging a growing interest in English learning. The survey shows that 65% of Moroccans, particularly youth, view English as important. The report includes 1,211 young respondents residing in urban areas. Tags: Education in MoroccoUK and Morocco

Marhaba 2025: Morocco to Boost Maritime Transport with 520 Weekly Sailings
Rabat– Morocco will boost its special maritime passenger transport to and from southern Europe with 520 weekly sailings under the Marhaba 2025 operation. This was announced Thursday by Mustapha Baitas, government spokesperson and Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament. Speaking after the weekly government council meeting, Baitas said that the operation, will increase transport capacity to 500,000 passengers and 130,000 vehicles per week. To meet this demand, 29 vessels from seven shipping companies will operate 12 routes connecting Moroccan ports with key ports in Italy, France, and Spain. The operation also focuses on strengthening security by enhancing border control equipment and offering close support through 24 reception centers—18 inside Morocco and six abroad. Specialized medical teams will be deployed along major roads and rest areas to ensure travelers' health and safety. Additionally, consular services will be mobilized on weekends and holidays from June 15 to September 15 to assist travelers. This year's Marhaba operation is set against expectations of an unprecedented influx of about 3.5 million travelers, primarily Moroccans living in Europe, representing a 4% increase over previous years. Around 890,000 vehicles are expected to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, marking a 5% rise that may be partly attributed to Spain's migrant regularization program. An investment of approximately MAD 28 million (around $2.8 million) has been dedicated to upgrading reception infrastructure at Tanger-Med port to better handle the flow. Overall, Marhaba 2025 aims to ensure smooth traffic management, enhanced security, proximity support, and heightened health vigilance, in line with royal directives to guarantee a safe and efficient return for Moroccans abroad during the summer season.
