Philippe A starts cabotage run in Morocco
Arkas Maroc (a subsidiary of Arkas Shipping) has founded Maroc Feedering which will perform domestic tonnage feedering & operations within Morocco under the Moroccan flag.
The Philippe A of 900 TEU has been purchased by Maroc Feedering to this effect and has started shuttling between Tangiers – Casablanca. Owing to seasonal reefer requirements, a call at Agadir is planned to be added to the rotation in October.
Launched in anticipation of Tangier Med doubling its capacity over the next 2 years, this is, significantly, the first cabotage open to all carriers.
