Mr. Kayouh highlighted the strategic importance of the ferry industry in global maritime transport, emphasizing that Morocco, as a gateway to Africa, aspires to serve as a development model in the maritime sector, particularly in ferry transportation. Acknowledging environmental challenges, he stressed the critical role of the global maritime community in reducing carbon emissions and promoting cleaner, more sustainable transport solutions.
