WEC to launch Morocco and western France links

[ August 31, 2023   //   ]

WEC Lines has launched a new service between the UK and north-west Europe to Casablanca, Morocco, via France.

From 19 September the Euro-Maroc service replaces the NWC Iberia and MOPT services and establishes direct sailings from Rotterdam and Antwerp to Casablanca, with connections from Portugal and Spain via Montoir, northwest France.

Ports of call for the service include Thamesport, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Montoir, Bilbao, Vigo, Leixões, Setubal, Casablanca, and Figueira da Foz.

The service also offers a route from western France to the UK, departing Montoir on Tuesday and arriving in Thamesport on Thursday, offering an eco-friendly alternative to trucks.

The weekly service will be performed by three 800teu vessels.

Managing director of Rotterdam-headquartered WEC Lines, Caesar Luikenaar, said: “The launch of the Euro – Maroc service underlines this dedication and commitment to meeting customer demand.”
