SAFI PORT: BULK GYPSUM TRAFFIC BOOMING

Bulk gypsum traffic has become an important activity at the Port of Safi, with export volumes rising steadily over the past five years, from 700 KT in 2019 to almost 1.5 MT in 2023. In May 2024, the team from the Port of Safi Operations Department paid a technical visit to the LAFARGE PLACO Morocco plant to gain a better understanding of the product, its production process, and safety standards. The plant, an affiliate of Saint-Gobain and LafargeHolcim, is mainly involved in the production of gypsum and its derivatives. The visit provided an opportunity to discuss future market developments and adapt Marsa Maroc’s offering to meet customer needs.
