AML Ferries

AML emerged during a period of rapid growth in trade and tourism between the two continents. The Strait of Gibraltar, being one of the world’s busiest maritime corridors, offered a strategic location for AML to position itself as a reliable ferry operator. The company’s launch was backed by BMCE Bank of Africa and Greek ferry operator Attica Group, combining regional expertise with global shipping experience.

With its modern fleet, AML quickly established a reputation for efficiency, comfort, and reliability. The company introduced vessels designed to meet the needs of both passengers and cargo operators, offering a range of onboard amenities and services to enhance the travel experience. AML’s ferries became especially popular among Moroccan expatriates travelling to and from Europe, as well as tourists exploring Morocco’s vibrant culture and landscapes.

Since its founding, AML has faced the challenges of operating in a competitive and dynamic maritime environment. These include fluctuations in passenger demand, regional economic conditions, and regulatory changes in both Europe and Africa. Despite these challenges, AML has adapted by enhancing its services, upgrading its fleet, and maintaining a strong commitment to safety and customer satisfaction.

Today, AML continues to play a vital role in bridging Africa and Europe, contributing to the region’s economic development and serving as a trusted partner for travellers and businesses navigating the Strait of Gibraltar.

Africa Morocco Link (AML) is committed to promoting sustainability as a core aspect of its operations, recognising the importance of minimising environmental impact while fostering economic and social development in the regions it serves. As a ferry operator connecting Morocco and Europe across the Strait of Gibraltar, AML integrates sustainable practices into its fleet management, energy use, and community engagement initiatives.

AML is actively working to reduce its carbon footprint by adopting energy-efficient technologies and optimising vessel operations. The company invests in modern, fuel-efficient ships that comply with international environmental standards, including reduced emissions and waste management systems.

Commitment to Marine Conservation Operating in one of the world's busiest maritime corridors, AML prioritises marine conservation. The company adheres to strict protocols to prevent pollution, including handling wastewater, oils, and other byproducts. AML also supports regional initiatives to protect marine biodiversity, ensuring its operations respect the delicate ecosystems of the Mediterranean and Atlantic waters.

Community and Economic Sustainability AML recognises its role as a vital link between North Africa and Europe, contributing to local economies by creating jobs and facilitating trade. By promoting tourism and improving regional connectivity, AML helps drive sustainable economic growth for the communities it serves. The company also supports local initiatives aimed at education, environmental awareness, and social development.

Future Goals Looking ahead, AML is exploring opportunities to integrate renewable energy sources into its operations, such as the use of alternative fuels like LNG or hybrid propulsion systems. The company remains committed to aligning with global sustainability goals, including the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry.

Through these efforts, AML aims to balance its operational needs with its responsibility to protect the environment and support the communities it connects, ensuring a sustainable future for maritime transportation in the region.
