CMA CGM has moved to take on a third port venture in Morocco, one of Africa’s fastest growing container destinations. The French liner has signed with Moroccan port and terminal operator Marsa Maroc to operate half of the new east terminal at Nador West Med Port, a facility in the far northeast of the country that will have a 1.2m teu capacity when fully equipped. “With four container terminals now in operation at the almost fully built-out Tanger Med port, today the largest container terminal in the Med, Morocco is trying to replicate Tanger’s success story with Nador West Med port as a second West Med hub some 250 km east,” commented analysts at Alphaliner. CMA CGM already has terminal interests at Eurogate Tanger and Somaport in Casablanca. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsFrance Morocco
