Marsa Maroc: Focusing on Security, Digitalization, and Green Transition by 2026-2027.

Marsa Maroc is entering a new strategic phase for the years 2026-2027, centered around three primary priorities: operational security, accelerating digital transformation, and progressively integrating a sustainable environmental approach. The port operator reaffirms its ambition to modernize its infrastructure and enhance its competitiveness on both national and regional levels.

Enhancing Operational Security

As part of its new roadmap, Marsa Maroc emphasizes the reliability of its equipment. A non-destructive testing program will be rolled out across all port sites to preempt technical failures and reduce the risk of incidents.

At the Port of Mohammedia, the company continues to implement recommendations stemming from safety audits, particularly in areas such as industrial risk management, fire prevention, and the handling of hazardous materials. The adoption of a structured approach akin to Process Safety Management further strengthens this strategy.

Accelerating Port Digitalization

Digital modernization is a central pillar of the 2026 strategy.

At the Port of Casablanca, several key projects are planned, including:

  • the widespread implementation of the E-GATE solution to streamline truck access;
  • the deployment of a Terminal Operating System (TOS);
  • the integration of automation technologies such as Crane OCR;
  • the establishment of a new billing system based on SAP.

These innovations aim to enhance container traceability, optimize logistical flows, and improve overall operational performance.

Energy Transition and Green Strategy

Marsa Maroc is also engaged in a dynamic of gradual decarbonization. The company plans to acquire low-emission port equipment, including electric tractors and automated cranes.

Key initiatives include:

  • acquisition of 116 electric tractors for the Nador West Med;
  • deployment of electric cranes and forklifts;
  • installation of photovoltaic plants at several port sites, with a total estimated capacity of 818 kWc.

These actions will be accompanied by optimizing port lighting to reduce energy consumption.

A Robust Financial Dynamic

Marsa Maroc’s outlook is supported by sustained growth observed in recent years. The company continues to demonstrate solid financial performance, bolstered by an increase in port traffic and the strengthening of its strategic infrastructure.

This positive trend is expected to continue as 2027 approaches, particularly with the commissioning of new terminals and an enhancement of logistics capabilities.

With this 2026-2027 roadmap, Marsa Maroc confirms its positioning as a key player in the Moroccan port sector. Through technological modernization, energy transition, and continuous improvement of safety protocols, the company is committed to profound transformation aimed at supporting Morocco’s logistical competitiveness.
