Marsa Maroc Invests 3 Billion Dirhams to Expand the Container Terminal at the Port of Casablanca
Marsa Maroc Launches Major Investment Program for Casablanca Port
Marsa Maroc has announced a significant investment program amounting to 3 billion dirhams aimed at modernizing and expanding the Container Terminal 3 (TC3) at the Port of Casablanca. This initiative follows the extension of the concession contract for an additional 20 years granted to its subsidiary responsible for operating this strategic infrastructure.
The program is designed to meet the continuous growth in container traffic while enhancing the logistical competitiveness of the Port of Casablanca, which serves as Morocco’s primary commercial hub.
Key investments will focus on expanding the docks, modernizing handling equipment, renewing technical infrastructure, and reorganizing storage spaces. The goal is to improve the efficiency of port operations, optimize ship processing, and enhance the performance of handling services.
By 2030, the capacity of the Container Terminal 3 is set to increase from approximately 600,000 to 900,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) annually, accommodating the rise in commercial exchanges passing through the port.
With these planned projects, the overall capacity of the Port of Casablanca is expected to surpass 2 million TEUs per year by the end of the decade, solidifying its role as a major logistics platform in Morocco and Africa.
Through this expansion and extension of the concession, Marsa Maroc reaffirms its long-term development strategy focused on modernizing port infrastructure, enhancing operational performance, and strengthening the competitiveness of the national logistics chain.
