Marsa Maroc recorded a rising turnover in the first half of 2021, at 1.74 billion MAD, up 20% compared to the same period of 2020, according to the results released by the company.
At the end of June, the port company achieved overall traffic of 23 Megaton (MT), up 22% year-on-year, including a volume of 4.2 Megaton (MT) generated by the Tangier Alliance subsidiary which started its activities in January 2021.
Domestic container traffic thus increased by 16% compared to the first half of 2020 to reach a volume of 542 KEVP, while the transshipment container traffic carried out by the Tangier Alliance stands at 363 KEVP.
As for bulk and conventional traffic, it stands at 13.5 Megaton (MT), down 3.5%, due to the decline in grain and coal traffic.
The company also invested 125 million MAD over the period compared to 141 million MAD last year.
Marsa Maroc achieved several prospects thanks to the diversification of its activities. In the 9 ports where it is present, it offers handling, storage, and port logistics services as well as services to ships.
Recently, the government sold 35% of its stake in the country’s main operator of ports, Marsa Maroc to Tanger Med for MAD 5.48 billion in order to overcome the economic crisis impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
