Ferry Morocco - Canary Isl.?
 

Good day,

there seemed to be several attempts by ferry lines like Fred Olsen and Naviera Armas to revive the 2008 stopped connection from Tarfaya, Morocco to Fuerteventura.

Does the forum know, if the passage is yet offered by any ferry line? Or how to ship me and a car from Morocco to the Canaries cheap and easy?

Kind regards

Well the previous ferry sank. :oops2:

And there's only a tiny demand for such a crossing. So the only ferry connection is via Spain.

Thanks for your reply, Tim.

Actually the ferry didn´t sink, it more or less stranded right next to the harbor.

Anyway, since then, various announcements by the above mentioned ferry companies and news sites suggested year by year a revival of that connection.

Sounds very tempting to me. I could imagine a extended road trip to Tarfaya and then hop over to Fuerte under 4hrs, rather than shipping me and the car for 30-60hrs from Spain mainland to the Canaries.

So long

Well, yes. It didn't actually disappear under the water, so yes, technically it didn't sink, but it was shipwrecked (as in it will never ever sail again).
