A statement from the Ministry stated that it is reacting pre-emptively to an alert issued yesterday at the Tanger-Med port, regarding a ship coming from the French port of Marseille on October 2, after suspicion of the presence of bed bugs in the crew cabin.

“Result of the inspection showed the absence of any insect on board the ship, including bedbugs,” said the Ministry.
