Establishment of a direct maritime link between the UK and Morocco

in Morocco

Trade barrier summary

Previously, there had been no direct maritime link between the UK and Morocco and there have been difficulties in establishing this route.

The establishment of this link will benefit UK exporters trading with Morocco. It means that containers can now be shipped from Morocco to the UK directly without the need for transhipment at another port, creating a direct maritime link, which saves time, costs and CO2 emissions.
