In 2022, a total of 14,404 ships called at Tanger Med Port Complex, an increase of 32% compared to 2021, including 961 mega-ships (over 290 meters).

the resumption of crossings for passenger traffic especially during the Marhaba 2022 campaign.

The performances achieved in 2022 are the result of the commitment and continuous collaboration of all Tanger Med Partners, in particular concessionaires, shipowners, local authorities and administrations.
