EVOLUTION OF PORT
ACTIVITY IN THE YEAR 2020
The impact of Covid-19 on Morocco’s foreign trade can be portrayed by contrasting trends in some port traffics.
Indeed, the increased flow of some commodities has generated a multiplying impact, as in the case of cereal and
fertilizer traffic. This situation involved the adjustment of the operational regulation rules.
However, the suspension of car-ferries and pleasure crafts has resulted in a dramatic decrease in passenger and cruise
ship traffic. In addition, the decrease in hydrocarbon consumption during the lockdown period had an impact on the
national cabotage growth.
