Morocco Develops Maritime Strength Near Melilla
The Nador West Med Port project stands out as part of Morocco's efforts to strengthen its port infrastructure, aiming to become an integrated logistics and industrial hub on the Mediterranean coast capable of handling up to 5 million containers and large container ships. The port's preparations have begun, including the reception of giant cranes and the development of loading and unloading systems, with investments exceeding €4.7 billion. The project focuses on connecting the port to the national road network and establishing a free zone covering more than 700 hectares, with the goal of attracting industrial and service investments and enhancing Morocco's position in international maritime trade. This comes amidst Spanish concerns over the impact of expanding Moroccan ports, especially with the increasing capacities of the Tanger and Nador ports, which, if expectations are met, could achieve a combined handling capacity of up to 17 million containers annually.
