Casablanca Port works: Opening up to the city facility upgrades
With this project, Casablanca aims to make the most of its geographic position and the high amount of traffic along its coasts. It also hopes to respond to the strong demand for boat repair in light of the saturation in supply, in particular, on the Canary Islands. Thanks to the new facilities, the three fitting-out quays, the future shipyard will have the capacity to deal with 22 units per year in a dry dock, 400 to 470 boats using a dockside crane (450 tonnes) and simultaneously 6 medium sized boats on the lifting platform (5000 tonnes). In addition to its infrastructure, the new shipyard will guarantee efficient management, (entry and exit of the boats, processing and handling times, development of a unique and visible interface…) and will offer competitive services (for quality, diversity and service cost…) this project has a budget of 690 million MAD.
COST OF PROJECT: 830 million MAD Before Tax.
 Morocco‘s economic capital must develop its port infrastructure and respond to both the increasing demand for quality and quantity. Currently the city of Casablanca receives 250,000 cruise goers per year, it doesn’t posses a port terminal that ensures these visitors are received under the best conditions. With an annual capacity of 350,000 cruise goers, the new terminal will be built on the Moulay Youssef jetty and will be able to receive boats up to 350 m long and 45 m wide, with a depth of 12m. Parking basins for boats are also planned as well as a 665m long quay. This ambitious project, part of the 2020 Tourism vision, will make Casablanca a leading destination for the cruise industry.

 The project « Wessal Casablanca Port » which focuses on the site of the ancient medina and its coastline involves significant modifications to current port infrastructure. It includes the construction of a new, larger, more modern, fishing port as an integral part of the new urban landscape.
With a body of water around 12 Ha big and reclaimed land of 7.6 Ha, the port will provide facilities over double the surface area compared to the current port, for both ship owners and boaters The project will require an investment of 630 million MAD.

 The extension of the North service road aims to ease traffic disruption in the port and neighbouring areas. It will also allow the improvement of traffic conditions on the main adjacent routes, and the diversion of commercial traffic that currently uses the coast road. The project consists primarily of building a 4.5 Km road, protective structures, and various related fixtures, for a total amount of 489 Million MAD.
PROJECT COST: 489 Million MAD Before Tax.
First Phase of Extension Works – Port infrastructure
The fishing port of Essaouira is to be extended and equipped with new port infrastructure. In order to respond tourism needs of the city, the port will enjoy a larger space for the sanitation facilities and equipment for fishing, conforming to international standards particularly those of the European Union. It will also offer better security conditions to fishermen and amateur sailors. A total budget of 106 Million MAD has been allocated for this project.

The port of Al Hoceima constitutes the only opening to the Mediterranean in the Centre North region. The National Ports Agency (ANP) will invest 115 million MAD to provide the region with a pleasure port at international standards and to promote and diversify the port activities on the Mediterranean coast. The first stage of the project involving maritime structures and the water program facilities has already been launched.
PROJECT COST: 115 Million MAD Before Tax
 The port of Al Hoceima is located at the far west section of Al Hoceima bay and represents the only opening on to the Mediterranean in the Centre North region. It is situated in an area surround by the Rif mountain chain with its very steep challenging terrain. Rock falls, linked to the instability of the terrain, are frequent in the mountainous areas. These falls damage the infrastructure (roads, pedestrian routes, etc.) and pose a risk to those who use these routes. The project to stabilize the cliff adjacent to the bypass route of the port will provide better protection to both the vehicles and pedestrians that use the route. This project has a budget of 69 million MAD.

Securing of the access channel and the construction of a groyne
Since entering into service in 1989, the port of Sidi Ifni has been subject to multiple and regular works: the most recent deals mainly with silting up, navigation safety through the access channel, infrastructure upgrades and the strengthening of protection structures. The construction of the groyne and the massive dredging of the port aims prevent continued silting up. The budget for the construction of groyne and the strengthening of the protection structures is set at 267 Million MAD.
COST OF THE PROJECT: 267 million MAD Before Tax for the construction of the groyne and the stabilization of the structures.
Extension of North Quay and restoration of the quays
Changes in the transport of containers and of roll on/ roll off require an increase in the handling capacity of Moroccan ports. The project consists of building a quay wall 182 meters long, filling in 2.2 Ha of reclaimed land and carrying out civil engineering works for a Roll on/ Roll off ramp. The cost of the project is around 112 million MAD. Simultaneously, maintenance and upgrading work for port infrastructure will require 99 million MAD.
PROJECT COST: 112 million MAD Before Tax.
 Reinforcement work of the protective structures
These works aimed to improve the harbor protection structures' stability against the adverse climatic conditions of the southern Atlantic Ocean; They consisted primarily of expanding the port access road and building a guard wall featuring tetrapods. The works, now completed, took place in 2013 and 2014 and totaled an investment of 32 million MAD before tax.
Cost of the project : 32 million MAD Before Tax.
Project to lengthen and strengthen protective maritime structures
The Port of Cala Iris is known for its beach and its small fishing port. Located between hills and cliffs, the port basin of Cala Iris is currently protected by a main seawall, 260 meters long, and a secondary seawall 117m long. Often subjected to severe bad weather, these structures require work to strengthen and lengthen them. The project aims to repair the damage that has developed over time, reduce the agitation of the basin in times of bad weather and protect the structures and limit its risk of being breached. The budget allocated to this project is 50 million MAD.
PROJECT COST: 58 million MAD Before Tax
 Construction of a dock for overhead gantry cranes
Thanks to this project, Ras Kebdana will develop its port services updating its fishing port. The project to create a dock for overhead gantry cranes will allow the hauling and floating of coastal fishing boats. New facilities and structures will make this port modern conforming to port standards. This project has a budget of 15 Million MAD.
PROJECT COST: 15 Million MAD Before Tax
 Massive dredging project
The port of Tan Tan plays an important economic and social role in the South of Morocco contributing to its development. Orientated south and exposed to strong ocean swell, the port is to be the object of a massive dredging operation in order to reduce the build up of sediment around the groynes and to improve access conditions to the port. A budget of 115 million MAD has been reserved for this project.
