As of Monday, 6 March, the ports of Malaga and Tangier are now linked by a direct maritime freight line. With daily connections in each direction, from Monday to Sunday, the new connection fulfills a historical wish of Malaga businessmen working in the import and export trade.
The ship operating the route is of the ro-ro cargo type (roll-on, roll-off) and is called the Friedrich Russ. It was docked in position on Sunday night and early on Monday afternoon it set off on its first voyage to cross the Strait of Gibraltar. The ship has the capacity to carry 105 heavy goods vehicles on each trip.
