The Competition Council has given the green light for the operation that will allow Tanger Med Port Authority S.A. to become a co-shareholder of Portnet S.A., alongside the National Ports Agency (ANP).
This decision permits an economic concentration operation, enabling the manager of the Tanger Med port complex to participate in the governance of the national platform dedicated to digitizing procedures associated with foreign trade.
A Strategic Step Towards Digital Transformation
The entry of Tanger Med into the capital of Portnet is part of the momentum for modernizing and digitalizing port and logistics services in Morocco.
This development aims to enhance coordination among various stakeholders in the logistics chain, streamline information exchanges, and improve the efficiency of import and export operations.
By bringing together two major players in the port sector, this operation is expected to help accelerate the digital transformation of Moroccan foreign trade.
Portnet: A Key Tool for Trade Exchanges
Established to simplify administrative formalities related to international trade, Portnet is now a central platform that connects public administrations, port authorities, logistics operators, and businesses involved in import and export operations.
Its goal is to reduce processing times, limit administrative procedures, and enhance the competitiveness of the Kingdom’s trade exchanges.
Shared Governance with the ANP
Following this operation, the Tanger Med Port Authority will exercise joint control over Portnet with the National Ports Agency, which remains the historical shareholder of the company.
This new governance is expected to strengthen synergies among the main port infrastructures of the Kingdom and support Morocco’s ambitions in logistics, foreign trade, and the digitalization of port services.
