Marsa Maroc, Morocco’s leading port operator, posted remarkable financial and operational results for the first six months of 2025, driven by increased cargo volumes, expanded services, and strategic investments.

Revenue and operational performance

The company reported a consolidated revenue of MAD 2.842 billion ($315.037 million), reflecting a 14.5% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Marsa Maroc attributed this growth to enhanced business activity and diversified logistics services.

By the end of June 2025, the operator had processed 33.6 million tons of cargo, an 8% year-over-year increase. Gains were observed across all traffic segments, with container traffic leading the way. Transshipment volumes rose by 4% to 854,831 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units), while domestic container traffic surged 8% to 651,139 TEU.

Bulk cargo also drove growth, with liquid bulk shipments rising 8% and solid bulk and general cargo increasing by 5%.

Vehicle traffic recorded the most significant jump, surging 51% due to a 19% rise in car imports and the addition of 15,264 units in new transshipment vehicle traffic.

Strategic investments

During the first half of 2025, Marsa Maroc invested MAD 1.293 billion ($143.479 million) in infrastructure expansion. These funds were allocated to building superstructures and acquiring state-of-the-art equipment for container operations at two new terminals in the Nador West Med port, positioning the company for future growth.

Financial strength

Marsa Maroc maintains a strong financial position, with negative net debt of MAD 492 million. The company holds MAD 2.123 billion ($235.335 million) in cash and available funds, compared to financing debt of MAD 1.631 billion ($180.797 million).

This robust balance sheet, coupled with revenue growth and strategic investments, sets Marsa Maroc on a clear path for continued expansion, reinforcing its leadership in Morocco’s growing port sector.
