CMA CGM Shipping Company Expands Service in Morocco to Dakhla

The French container transportation and shipping company, CMA CGM, is enhancing its shuttle service in Morocco, offering its clients as of Sept.12 a new stopover in the southern Moroccan port of Dakhla.

The global shipping group said it made the move in order to continue developing business opportunities in Morocco and support Moroccan clients with the best Moroccan ports coverage in the market: Casablanca – Tangiers – Agadir – Dakhla.

The vessels CMA CGM Tanger & CMA CGM Agadir- both Moroccan flag – will ensure a weekly departure. The new Dakhla strategic point will be connected to worldwide maritime networks via Tangiers & Algeciras.

The Moroccan customers of CMA CGM, including fish exporters, will thus benefit from a “fast and competitive” access to global market.
