AFTER THE EAST CONTAINER TERMINAL, MARSA MAROC WILL OPERATE THE WEST TERMINAL OF NADOR WEST MED

Marsa Maroc and Nador West Med have signed a concession agreement for the West Terminal of Nador West Med (NWM).

Marsa Maroc’s Board of Directors has authorized the signing of the concession documents for the West Terminal of the port of Nador West Med for a 25-year period.

The West Terminal will have 1,440 linear meters of quay, sunk to a depth of 18 meters, and will be divided into two sections: a first section measuring 900 meters dedicated to container operations and a second section measuring 540 meters for handling general cargo. This new terminal will cover an area of 60 hectares and will eventually be equipped with eight ship-to-shore gantry cranes (STS), 24 rail-mounted gantry cranes (RTG) and four latest-generation mobile cranes.

Marsa Maroc will mobilize, together with its partners, an estimated investment of €280 million for the completion of the first phase of this new terminal, which is scheduled to begin operations in 2027. With its operational expertise and strong partnerships with world-renowned shipping companies, Marsa Maroc will deploy the necessary resources to ensure the commercial success of the West Terminal.

Marsa Maroc now has three container transshipment terminals on the Mediterranean coast in its concession portfolio, strengthening its position in this market. With the West Terminal, Marsa Maroc’s container traffic handling capacity will increase to 9 million TEU, including nearly 7 million TEU dedicated to container transshipment.
