Tanger Ville

The Port of Tangier Ville is strategically situated at the mouth of the Strait of Gibraltar, which is an important maritime passage connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. This location makes it a crucial hub for both commercial shipping and passenger traffic. The port is an essential part of Morocco's economic infrastructure, facilitating international trade and tourism. Tangier itself is a city with a rich cultural heritage and a vibrant history as a cosmopolitan trading center. The development of the port has boosted tourism in the region, making it easier for visitors to access the city and its surroundings.

The port premises offer a parking lot for visitors, providing a designated area to park vehicles safely. For those seeking monitored parking facilities, options abound along the southern stretch of Mohamed V Avenue, offering a secure solution, particularly for extended stays. Additionally, a supervised parking area is available outside the Medina, conveniently located near the Grand Socco

Regarding distances, the port's proximity to Tarifa (Spain), Gibraltar, and Rabat (Morocco) highlights its strategic location for maritime travel and trade between Europe and Africa.

Useful pre-embarkation information

Due to our compliance with the security regulations of the ISPS (International Ship and Port Facility Security) code, all passengers are required to proceed to the embarkation area at least three (3) hours prior to the scheduled departure time of the vessel.

Both foot passengers and those travelling by private vehicles need to proceed to the check-in area and get their boarding passes from the company ticket offices, at least two (2) hours before departure. Once the check-in is done, the passengers must pass through the police control to stamp their passport and through the Customs checkpoints to control their luggage. For the foot passengers, either the luggage is checked manually or scanned. For the private vehicles, the passage to the scanner is mandatory.

Once these controls are completed, passengers are able to embark once the embarkation is allowed. At the ramp’s level or at the gangway of the vessel, the police agents make sure that all passengers have duly stamped their passport. Then passengers present their boarding pass to the vessel’s crew members and may embark the vessel.
