Tanger Med’s Port complex handled 7,596,845 TEUs in 2022, a 6% increase over 2021. Port officials noted that over the last year, excellent production levels were attained, and the previous record of 700,000 TEUs handled per month was surpassed.
Meanwhile, Tanger Med Port Complex handled over 107 million tons in 2022, representing a 6% growth over 2021. This traffic is estimated to account for around 54% of total port tonnage handled in Morocco.
In terms of Ro-Ro traffic, the port handled 459,091 trucks in 2022, a 13% increase over 2021. This upward trend in national exports was principally driven by the industrial and agri-business sectors, which grew by 22% and 11%, respectively.
Meanwhile, liquid bulk traffic topped 9 million tonnes and rose by 6% compared to 2021. The total amount of hydrocarbons handled is 9,260,711 tons.
In terms of solid bulk traffic, the port reported a total of 404,007 tons, a rise of 18% compared with the previous year, owing mostly to sheet metal coil and grain traffic.
In total, 14,404 ships, including 961 mega-ships (over 290 meters), called at Tanger Med Port Complex in 2022, translating to a 32% increase over 2021. This growth is mostly driven by an improvement in the productivity of container terminals for the acceptance and processing of mega-ships, as well as the restoration of passenger traffic crossings, particularly during the Marhaba 2022 campaign.
