RABAT — Morocco’s leading port operator Marsa Maroc has approved a major investment programme worth approximately $2.1 billion (MAD 21 billion) to be deployed between 2025 and 2030, aimed at expanding capacity and strengthening the country’s position as a regional logistics hub.
The plan, endorsed during the company’s board review of its 2025 results, will focus on upgrading and developing key port infrastructure across Morocco. Central to the programme is the expansion of operations at strategic facilities, including Casablanca and Jorf Lasfar, alongside participation in the development of container terminals at the Nador West Med Port, a flagship logistics project on the Mediterranean coast.
The investment also targets improvements in operational efficiency through digitisation initiatives and modernised cargo-handling systems, as Marsa Maroc seeks to accommodate growing trade volumes and enhance service competitiveness.
The expansion follows a strong performance year for the operator, which reported double-digit revenue growth and rising cargo throughput, including container volumes exceeding 3 million TEUs and total traffic surpassing 67 million tonnes.
The programme aligns with Morocco’s broader strategy to position itself as a key maritime and logistics gateway linking Africa, Europe and global markets, supported by ongoing investments in port infrastructure and supply chain integration.
Marsa Maroc said the initiative is expected to reinforce its role in facilitating trade flows and supporting industrial growth, particularly as global shipping routes continue to evolve amid geopolitical and economic shifts.
