Marsa Maroc, leading port operator in the Kingdom, has announced a $300 million investment plan to expand container handling capacity at the Port of Casablanca after securing a 20-year extension of its concession to operate Container Terminal 3.
The expansion will enable the port’s operator to meet growing container traffic at Morocco’s largest port. Terminal 3 capacity is expected to increase from 600,000 to 900,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) by 2030.
Marsa Maroc is planning to boost Casablanca port’s total container handling capacity to more than 2 million TEUs. The project includes extending quay infrastructure, upgrading cargo-handling equipment, and redesigning storage areas across the two container terminals operated by Marsa Maroc at the port.
In 2025, Marsa Maroc reported higher traffic volumes, solid revenue growth and major advances in its international expansion strategy. The company handled 67.1 million tons of cargo in 2025, up 6% from the previous year, despite adverse weather conditions in the fourth. The increase was driven by broad-based growth across port activities, with import–export container traffic performing particularly well.
Morocco is deploying $7.5 billion national ports’ strategy seeking to upgrade 27 ports along its coasts by 2030. The master plan focuses on six major economic hubs to transform the country into a major global logistics and transshipment gateway between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
