TANGER Med port has officially opened according to APM Moller group-owned APM Terminals Tangier and its local partner, Morocco-based Akwa Group. The strategically-located port will compete with Algeciras on the Spanish side of the Strait of Gibraltar.
APM Terminals' CEO, Kim Fejfer, said: "Our vision is to offer our customers more options and solutions in the Straits of Gibraltar giving them a competitive edge in world markets. The new terminal expands our global terminal portfolio in one of the world’s most important shipping lanes."
The company's vice president Martin Poulsen said: "Morocco’s proximity to Europe’s 400 million consumer market will create a new gateway to trade.”
Said Elhadi, Chairman of the Executive Board of TMSA, commented: "The opening of Tanger Med port’s first container terminal according to the timeline displays Morocco’s capacity to implement large scale infrastructural projects in a due manner. It also highlights the quality of the partnership between Tanger Med Port Authority and its world class partner APM Terminals. Our vision is to take advantage of Tanger Med port’s key location at the crossroads of East-West and North-South maritime routes while partnering with leaders in the field to benefit from their world-class services and international best operational practices. The launch of the activities of the first container terminal is setting the ground for Tanger Med port to become an important container hub leading to the development of a successful large scale logistic and industrial platform in the North of Morocco.”
