THE “SMART & SUSTAINABLE PORTS FOR AFRICA” PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH UNCTAD

Tanger Med Port Authority (TMPA) confirms its commitment to sustainable development through its involvement in the “Smart & Sustainable Ports for Africa” program, initiated by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). This program aims to support African ports in their energy transition, the integration of sustainable technological solutions, and the improvement of their environmental efficiency.

As part of this project, an assessment mission was conducted at Tanger Med Port from September 23 to 26, 2025, led by a delegation from UNCTAD and organized in close collaboration with Tanger Med. The objective was to measure the Port Complex’s maturity in terms of sustainability and port intelligence, and to validate its ability to increase the use of renewable energy and improve the energy efficiency of its operations.

During this task, plenary meetings and bilateral consultations were held with key players in Tanger Med’s ecosystem as well as terminal operators in order to validate the initial results of the analysis, complete data collection, and define short- and medium-term priorities for action.

The findings of this assessment will feed into the development of a strategic roadmap designed to strengthen the competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience of Tanger Med’s port operations, in line with its vision of excellence and leadership on a regional and continental scale.
