Morocco to Enhance Maritime Infrastructure with New Deepwater Ports
Morocco is set to expand its maritime infrastructure by constructing two major deepwater ports, one on the Mediterranean and another on the Atlantic. The Nador West Med port, located on the Mediterranean coast, is expected to become operational in the second half of 2026. This facility will include Morocco's first liquefied natural gas terminal and is part of the country's strategy to transition from coal to natural gas and renewables. Additionally, a $1 billion port in Dakhla, situated in the disputed Western Sahara region, is scheduled to open in 2028. This port will serve as a gateway for landlocked Sahel nations to access global trade.
