They never stopped.

The problem is the border between Ceuta and Morocco has been closed since March 2020

Showing my ignorance there

French Embassy has arranged a Repatriation ferry for Europeans.

More details on their website and social media

TheWarden 17 Jan 2022 17:09

Another ferry arranged for the 24th. If you have already registered theres no need to register again.

Details available from the French embassy and Le Meridionale Ferries

Had confirmation from Partage et Voyage that ferry is Wednesday 2nd February.... I'm apparently on the list but now need to wait for the phone call to book it!!

Morocco 2022 reopening when?
 
Thanks Chris et al, What's the latest predictions on when Morocco will reopen post-Omicron. The flights to Marrakech are cheap for the first week in March 2022. Also where to rent a small enduro bike with a 21 inch front wheel for a couple of weeks touring? (Last rental of crashed CRF250L with M 2 R whose office was under a tree was a complete disaster.)

By "out" you mean which direction? To or from M?

TheWarden 26 Jan 2022 16:26

Out = Away from Morocco

Government meets tomorrow to discuss borders etc, expect an announcement sometime. I expect the border closure will be extended for another month, the State of Emergency will definitely be extended.

As for opening, who knows exactly, could be tomorrow, next month or whenever. Much depends on the situation both in Morocco and Europe.

Thanks TheWarden, Tim et al for any future insights/reports about the possibility of flying in for some rental riding in southern Morocco in March 2022.

GNV
 
In the Partages et Voyages group, there are screenshots showing the cancellation of the 1 Febr. Sete->Tanger ferry.

Chris Scott 29 Jan 2022 08:26

As you can see, Overlander, flights will resume next week so March may look good, depending on Covid regs.
Not surprised to hear M2R ended badly. I only ever used them once, too.
A decent small 21" is hard to find.

Official: maritime traffic suspended until 6 Feb. 23:59

GNV still says, the 5 Feb. Genova->Tanger will be OK. True, it would arrive in Tanger well after the deadline...

TheWarden 31 Jan 2022 23:09

Todays official statement gives the government the option to extend the suspension past midnight on the 6th and confirms that ferries remain suspended.
