PIPELINE TRAFFIC AT THE PORT OF SAFI

Since September 2024, the Operations Department at the Port of Safi has been handling import traffic in pipes designed to link the Safi desalination plant to the town of Youssoufia, as part of a strategic project to meet the region’s water needs.

The 7 ports of call handled cargos of around 54,000 tons, i.e. 9,000 pipes weighing 6 tons each, handled with great care and precision due to their fragile nature. This project is part of a wider initiative to secure water resources, including infrastructure to bring water to rural areas affected by water stress.

The Safi seawater desalination plant, managed by OCP Group, plays a vital role in supplying the city with drinking water.
