Morocco Expanding Export Routes
Dutch shipping company WEC Lines has launched a weekly sea service connecting the port of Nador in Morocco with the port of Setúbal in Portugal, and from there to a network of ports in Northwestern Europe. This aims to diversify Moroccan export routes and reduce reliance on land transport through Spain. The journey from Nador to Setúbal takes approximately three days, after which containers can be redirected to major European ports like Rotterdam and Antwerp, thereby reducing costs and congestion on land routes. This step is especially significant for agricultural and food products, as it provides refrigerated containers to ensure the safe transport of perishable goods. It comes ahead of the launch of the new Nador port in the last quarter of 2026, as part of a plan to enhance Morocco's logistical capabilities and integrate it more broadly into global value chains.
