Marsa Maroc Signs Concession Agreement for the Nador West Med Port Terminal
Marsa Maroc and Nador West Med have recently finalized a 25-year concession agreement for the West Terminal of the Nador West Med Port (NWM). This agreement has been approved by the Marsa Maroc Board of Directors, according to a company statement.
The West Terminal will feature 1,440 linear meters of quay at a depth of 18 meters, divided into two sections: a 900-meter section dedicated to container handling and another 540-meter section for general cargo. This terminal will span 60 hectares and will be equipped with eight ship-to-shore cranes (STS), 24 rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTG), and four state-of-the-art mobile cranes.
Marsa Maroc, in collaboration with its partners, will invest €280 million in the first phase of this terminal, which is expected to be operational by 2027.
Leveraging its operational expertise and strong partnerships with leading shipping companies, Marsa Maroc is committed to deploying all necessary resources to ensure the commercial success of this project. With this new terminal, Marsa Maroc’s container traffic handling capacity will reach 9 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), with nearly 7 million TEUs earmarked for container transshipment.
Marsa Maroc continues to strengthen its strategic position in the Mediterranean, now operating 25 terminals across 11 ports, handling a total traffic of over 60 million tons. As part of its new strategic vision, the company aims to establish itself as a key player in the global port, maritime, and logistics sectors.
Listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange, Marsa Maroc is primarily owned by the Tanger Med Group, a leader in the development of port, logistics, and industrial platforms.
