Moroccan port operator Marsa Maroc reported a 13% rise in consolidated revenue to 3.21bn MAD ($321m) in the first half of 2026.The group handled 34.5m tonnes of goods during the six months to 30 June, up 3% from the same period last year. Domestic container traffic rose 7% to 697,594 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), helped by stronger foreign trade.
Transshipment volumes, however, fell 4% to 822,666 TEUs following an operational realignment. Container terminals at the Port of Casablanca are now focused on domestic traffic, while Tanger Alliance is dedicated to transshipment.
Solid bulk traffic increased 6%, driven by higher imports of scrap metal and animal feed. Liquid bulk traffic also grew by 6%.
The group expanded its operations in the second quarter by bringing Nador Container Terminal, which handles container activities at the Nador West Med port, into its consolidation scope.
Marsa Maroc currently consolidates the terminal at 100%. This will fall to 51% once CMA Terminals completes the acquisition of a 49% stake.
The group invested 3.4bn MAD during the first six months of the year, with most of the spending going towards port infrastructure and equipment at the new Nador West Med facilities.
Marsa Maroc ended June with negative net debt of 1.14bn MAD. It held 2.79bn MAD in cash against 1.65bn MAD in financial debt, giving it room to fund its expansion plans.
